Princeton University - Evolution's new wrinkle: Proteins with cruise control provide new perspective

Princeton University - Evolution's new wrinkle: Proteins with cruise control provide new perspective: "'The discovery answers an age-old question that has puzzled biologists since the time of Darwin: How can organisms be so exquisitely complex, if evolution is completely random, operating like a 'blind watchmaker'?' said Chakrabarti, an associate research scholar in the Department of Chemistry at Princeton. 'Our new theory extends Darwin's model, demonstrating how organisms can subtly direct aspects of their own evolution to create order out of randomness.'"

We may find this extends Darwin's evolutionary ideas, or we may find this is a mechanism in support of Darwin's broader pangenesis theory.
