Chapter 20, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason that the statement “A squid’s eye has been perfectly designed to see in the dark depths of the ocean” is not accurate.
Introduction: The organs and structures which are adapted from ancestors are not always perfect. As stated in the blog “A squid’s eye has been perfectly designed to see in the dark depths of the ocean” suggests that evolution is goal-oriented, which is not true, for example, the laryngeal nerve in giraffes.

An avid birder, he decided to go to Papua New Guinea with Bill Whitlatch, an ornithologist friend of his from Montana Technical Institute. Three days into their trip, Bill netted a bird with an orange body and black wings and head for closer study. Dr. Westwood was very curious and asked Bill if he could have a closer look at the bird. After handling the bird and later touching his mouth with his hand, Dr. Westwood noticed that his fingers and lips were going numb. His mind immediately flashed back to the disastrous trip to Indonesia and he began to panic. Luckily, the symptoms faded before they progressed into anything more serious. His friend Bill used a key to identify the animal as a ‘pitohui.’ The pitohui are small, social songbirds that live in Papua New Guinea. They are generally about 23 centimeters long with strong legs and a powerful beak. Their encounter was the first time anyone had…arrow_forward
