Notes
- Coyne, 2009, p. 139: “Altogether [for blood-clotting pathways for vertebrates] more than twenty proteisn are involved. How could this possibly have evolved? … We don’t know for sure, but we have evidence that the system could have been built up in an adaptive way from simpler precursors.” ↩
