Who'se hiding behind any evolutionary narrative...and I still don't know how or why necessity is informing you.
I don't recall saying "here it is, so it must have evolved" I recall having suggested to you that this question of necessity is out of your own left field..and nothing to do with evolutionary biology. Needful things is not how evolution proceeds. Nor does evolution care whether or not there are other ways of doing something. You expressed personal incredulity on account of irrelevant criteria.
Imagine if I had told you that I couldn't see how a bee evolved flight? It doesn't need to fly, and the manner in which it flies adds nothing, it's accomplished in other and better ways in the absence of the bee flight mechanism. You'd think I was a fucking loon..right?
Here, lets try another one. I can't believe babe ruth was the greatest player who ever lived. His name was ruth, after all.

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!
