FRAGMENT FROM NATURE deals for two weekends on the evolution of the human foot. If someone presented me with a design for a human foot that looked like the actual human foot, I probably would have thrown them out of my office.

All about exaptation: the acquisitions of functions for which they were not originally adapted.
