The Evolution of Complex Traits

The evolution of complex traits such as certain behaviors, structures, and molecular pathways occurs through normal evolutionary pathways. However, these traits have sometimes been pointed to by opponents of evolutionary theory as being irreducibly complex, and thus, not able to have been produced through evolutionary mechanisms. In this video, That Bio Doc will talk about what the argument from irreducible complexity does really work and explain how mutations, such as gene duplications, can readily explain the evolution of these traits.
