DESCENT WITH MODIFICATION
... Why would an organism possess organs without function? Why would an organism grow a part and then discard it? If organisms evolved from ancestors in which that part functioned, the gene code to make the part would still be there even though it doesn’t work. If the organ is not vital to survival, the ...
