“This is how we go from single cells to people.” Hmmm.

Was this the state of evo-devo over 6 years ago?
The connections between patterns at the macroevolutionary level and microevolutionary processes observed within populations on an experimental time scale remain essentially unmade [12]. The next quarter of a century will clearly reveal more of how the genotype to phenotype map works for the whole functional phenotype, and will demonstrate the extent to which the evolution of form is special with its own largely private mechanisms and machinery. The association between evolution in form and the timing of modification of development in ontogeny remains unclear, especially with respect to evolutionary novelties. Associations of this type will also prove fascinating to unravel for behavioural traits. Hopefully, future work will unravel more effectively the genetical from the developmental properties The extent to which natural selection is all-powerful in different organisms remains unclear whether one is considering morphological, behavioural or life-history traits (e.g. [12,49,53]). An integration of experimental work on key traits using model species with a more comparative phylogenetic approach across species in eco- and trait-space is needed to progress further. How exactly this machinery has been recruited and co-opted at the origin of some novel structure, and then elaborated upon in subsequent adaptive radiations in morphospace facilitated by the structure remains an exciting challenge for the future [19].

This reminds me of the last decade of the Cold War, when the soviets, after trying a few party leaders consecutively, finally got a guy who trying to revitalize their weakening system, slightly opening a window to let some fresh air get into their tightly closed society. Glasnost and perestroika were tried as their magic solution in vain. Eventually the whole structure collapsed.Dionisio_{December 20, 2017

This reminds me of a Cold War joke: The soviets sent a spaceship to the moon. The cosmonauts painted the whole moon red. On earth people watching the moon turned red wondered what's that? When the soviets returned, the Americans sent their spaceship to the moon, the astronauts unloaded white paint and wrote on the red surface: Drink Coca-Cola Let them popularize evo-devo as much as possible. Perhaps many people will ask the 'why' and 'how' questions. Then we'll bring the white paint. :)Dionisio_{December 20, 2017

Here's from the website Genius.com Evo-Devo (Despacito Biology Parody) A Capella Science Lyrics
EVO-DEVO Huxley B. Mac Oh Carroll, Carroll Gould, Stephen Jay yeah D-D-D-D-Davidson and Peter See One cell divide and decide on a thousand fates Did you ever figure how they know? B. Mac We Are built of modules combined in a planned out way Each new piece must be told where to go Oh Now there's a science helping us to understand How our cells encode this architectural plan Signalling each other with genetic tools oh Oh yeah Wow Phenotype the interface for mouse and man Genotype the files and the subprograms What then are the switches, circuit boards and boot code? Evo-Devo Looking at the logic in the ways that we grow Every gene directed by a signal key code Proteins that can activate, enhance or veto Evo-Devo Signals are controlled by other genes that signal Calculating in a network labyrinthal Where the heart and liver and the hands and feet go Signal mapping tells each region what it ought to be yo With circuits so deeply built upon They're older than the Paleo The Paleozoic Era baby In a crucial pathway changes tend to get torpedoed Where they go calamity goes As this cyclopic sheep knows.. See down they cascade like a domino Like you and I drosophila The path that makes us optical Was laid a long long time ago Back before we blew up the cambrian like a bomb bomb Now my eye protein can make you see out of your bom bom And Hedgehog and its relatives like Indian and Sonic Set up set up in a gradient on segments embryonic Split forebrains and asymmetric parts depend upon it Flipping on genetic switches and logic From devo to evo Adult and embryo Mostly don't evolve in the genes of the genome Safer the mutation aimed at regulation Keep the building blocks and swap their activation From devo to evo Parts have alter egos Homologs evolved from repeats in the schema Switch a couple bases in the proper places You'll be watching flies grow legs out of their faces oh yeah Evo-Devo Stick around for Modern Synthesis the sequel Only by combining can a new theory grow Evolution and development amigos Evo-Devo Signals trigger patterns of complexity so Switching up the switches of a signalling node Gives a modular and simple way to evolve Look at how our spinal segments generate a neat row Built on a molecular clock One cycle, one vertebra One vertebra one vertebra baby Speeding up its rate is snakes' developmental cheat code That and where a lizard's feet grow They turn off distal aminos Evo-Devo This is how we go from single cells to people Every generation and in life primeval Life in variations endless and beautiful Badaboom From devo to evo Larva to mosquito Patterns are resolved as the signals proceed yo Map out a gene with a glow tag Kill it with a morpholino Short oligo morpholino baby From devo to evo Voyage of the Beagle Body plans evolve when proteins steer the genome In this manner life's beauty grows Aesthetica in vivo Evo-Devo

Tim Blais, AKA A Capella Science, uses Despacito to teach us evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo. It’s a new science showing how genes can be controlled by other genes, and how that can explain how evolution works when most mutations just seem to mess up organisms.

Perhaps the popular Canadian singer Justin Bieber should contact "A Cappella Science" Tim Blais and learn the English language version of the popular song, so that next time he doesn't have to dodge water bottles hurled at him by upset fans after refusing to sing the original lyrics in Spanish. That could make evo-devo even more popular among younger generations. That would be nice for the ID folks. :)Dionisio_{December 20, 2017

The fundamental formulation of evo-devo is: Dev(d) = Dev(a) + Delta(a,d) Where: Dev(a) is the entire* developmental process of a given ancestor Dev(d) is the entire* developmental process of a given descendant Delta(a,d) is the complete* set of spatiotemporal changes required in Dev(a) in order to get Dev(d).

Let them popularize evo-devo, the most complex task in the neo-Darwinian paradigm. They're doing -unknowingly- the work for the ID folks. Just be thankful for that. It'll pay dividends. They ain't seen nothin' yet. The most fascinating discoveries are still ahead. All they're hearing is like the cacophony produced by the orchestra musicians tuning their individual instruments. The curtains are still closed. The scenario is hidden behind. The ballet choreography hasn't been shown in all its splendor yet.Dionisio_{December 20, 2017
