Very interesting but I’m not convinced by the logic. I assume that, like the combination of a legless and blind man, the molecules in question have become more complex and have continued to perform their original functions using a different configuration.
If such a thing were possible, I think a blind man and legless man merging together would indeed be more complex and might benefit by virtue of 2 brains, 2 personalities. 4 ears, 4 arms, etc.
It was, after all, their analogy.
Well, if you’re into logic, then you know that evolution isn’t logical. So that can end that conversation right there.
—would indeed be more complex and might benefit by virtue of 2 brains, 2 personalities. 4 ears, 4 arms, etc.—
But would it have been better? I understand that half of all two brained entities end up in divorce.
