NONE of these answers my question: how does two or three functions that depend on each other for a survival benefit evolve through small incremental changes that are selected for a survival benefit?Your question is malformed..you've even been given an example that's fundamental to the development of eyes. Those three things -don't- depend on each other to confer a survival benefit. They've been conferring individual benefits since their emergence individually, long before the development of eyes which arose out of them...and continue to do so today.
These adaptations granted you sight, they grant trees the ability to photosynthesize, they grant bacteria motility. You inherited these things from creatures that didn;t (and still don't) use them for what you use them for. They don't have the full package that you have and yet the adaptations still confer benefits. There are creatures that have eyes, but no cns...cns, but no eyes. Nerves, but no eyes or cns. There are creatures that have no nerves, no eyes, and no cns...but use the same cellular structures that each of those things are built out of for entirely disparate ends to great advantage.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
