dhw: Your bold is a clear pointer to common descent, and once again fits in perfectly with different organisms varying the same pattern in accordance with their individual needs. Design, yes, but how and by what? Ah well, usual answer: an all-encompassing, 3.8-billion-year-old computer programme, your God dabbling, or the cooperative intelligence of the cell communities.-DAVID: Committees of somatic cells make brains? That is your leap of faith.-Committees of cells, in which the somatic cells probably follow instructions issued by the “brains” of the community, which you say are situated in the germ cells, your version of the “brains” being a 3.8-billion-year computer programme for all innovations, lifestyles etc., which your God installed in the very first cells to be passed on to all subsequent cells and cell communities. But no, it's not my leap of faith. I offer it as an alternative to your computer/dabbling hypotheses.
