Reply to comment by Ffdmatt in When it's said 99.9% of human DNA is the same in all humans, is this referring to only coding DNA or both coding and non-coding DNA combined? by PeanutSalsa
I’ve brought this up several times here, but evolution doesn’t “optimize” things (at least in the way an intelligent being would), it’s a mindless process that stumbles onto “good enough” solutions for keeping organisms alive long enough to reproduce in a given niche. If evolution optimized things, we’d probably have really different anatomy.
