Richard Dawkins Demonstrates Laryngeal Nerve of the Giraffe

Dailymotion - Richard Dawkins Demonstrates Laryngeal Nerve of the Giraffe - a Tech & Science video

Never knew this about the laryngeal nerve, absolutely gorgeous example of the way that gradual change is blind. As Professor Dawkins stated, designers have foresight. Designers have planning and can change their process so long as the black box's input and output remain the same.

Evolution has no such advantage, and yet it has produced the myriad forms of complex life on earth today. Trial, error, natural selection and a few billion years of time can do wonders for replicators!
