Re: I am responding to my self so I may answer all of you in one swoop
quote:
The formation and development of a organ. Pick one, the eye, the brain, the heart,etc
Here is an example of the evolution of a complex organ:
D. Reznick et al. : Independent Origins and Rapid Evolution of the Placenta in the Fish Genus Poeciliopsis. Science 298 (5595):1018-1020, 1 Nov 2002. http://www.u.arizona.edu/~mmateos/reznicketal.pdf
"The evolution of complex organs is a source of controversy because they require the contributions of many adaptations to function properly. We argue that placentas are complex, that they have evolved multiple times in Poeciliopsis, and that there are closely related sister taxa that have either no placentas or intermediate stages in the evolution of a placenta."
