How can you take the same set of genes and make different things with them?
I think the men cheated.</sarc

...or even a male human displaying his hairy chest, but now we know that these secondary sexual characteristics have evolved because they attract mates...

“Few things seem so silly as a peacock preening its gaudy tail...”
Drinking copious quantities of beer and watching football games come to mind, among other things. Some of us (males) prefer to occupy ourselves with more serious matters, such as the recent women’s volleyball competition at the Olympics in China. Those interested in international relations seem to agree that that was worthy of additional detailed study.

“The switch got remodeled,” Carroll explained. “New traits can evolve from old machinery. They are not created from scratch, but by a tweak to machinery that was already there.”

But "looks can be deceiving," Carroll explained. All animals from the fly to the elephant are built from the same basic "tool kit" of genetic material over millions of years. A different path in evolution can lead to a spot on butterfly's wing or a limb on a frog.How about this interpretation?

Sex traits never evolved. They are as they were created to be. Another evolution stooge. Go play, doggy.

This is a too common error that I find consistently irritating:
