Primes¶
- Exaptation
- Each is the same move — a structure's incidental properties become the platform for a function the structure was never designed to serve, a unifying reading that Gould (2002) develops at length in his treatment of co-option as a major engine of evolutionary and cultural novelty.
This sourceTreats spandrels and exaptation/co-option at length (esp. ch. 11) as a major engine of evolutionary novelty, underwriting innovation-without-invention and the path dependence of current functions on historically contingent structures.
