“In the 1980s . . . biologists discovered that many of the genes involved in embryo development are similar in many types of different animals - from fruit flies to humans. Since differences in development was supposedly due to differences in genes, the similarities seemed paradoxical, but a new discipline arose called “evolutionary development biology”, or “Evo Devo”, attributed them to inheritance from a common ancestor. Now evo devo is all the rage among Darwinists.
“Yet the paradox remains. If the developmental genes of insects and mammals are similar, then - as Italian geneticist, Giuseppi Sermonti puts it - why is a fly not a horse?” Interesting reading!
