Behe’s rule vindicated again –paper shows adaptive evolution in the near term is maladaptive for the future

Natural Selection does not have foresight, and this lack of foresight destroys complex capabilities, it does not build them. Behe’s first rule of adaptive evolution is again vindicated. Behe’s rule states that adaptation is usually loss of function, not acquisition of function. In contrast, Darwin envisioned that ever increasing complexity would be selected by nature. That new functions would emerge to enable adaptation. Not so. Nature selects for simplicity, if not out right extinction. Behe was right, Darwin was wrong. http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003972 Whole Genome, Whole Population Sequencing Reveals That Loss of Signaling Networks Is the Major Adaptive Strategy in a Constant Environment Molecular signaling networks are ubiquitous across life and likely evolved to allow organisms to sense and respond to environmental … Continue reading Behe’s rule vindicated again –paper shows adaptive evolution in the near term is maladaptive for the future
