The thing I've always found delicious about the 747 analogy is how completely it helps to explain a difference between design and evolution. I wonder who would correctly surmise that the the 747 has in it's technical background the Flyer of Kitty Hawk fame knowing nothing about planes. No one would expect to find a Flyer nestled in the fuselage of a 747 (and no one will find that..it isn't there)....and I bet that next to no one would imagine that aircraft started out looking like the flyer based on how a 747 looks.
The same simply isn't true of ourselves. We have more in common with any other ape than a 747 has with the Flyer...and there were only a few decades between the latter two. There are millions of years between us. Still, in our case...we do find the the metaphoric Flyer in the fuselage.
