For that giraffe to be able to sustain and take advantage of his long neck, a myriad of previous lucky mutations fell right into place.
Who’s that gullible.
As for protein production and the sheer magnitude of odds needed to be overcome for just one to come into existence ....
Assume only 200 proteins are needed for life (it is up to 387 plus RNA entities)
Good luck!!!
What you're neglecting to notice is the trillions upon trillions of mutations that occur and get weeded out by natural selection. Inimical mutations make an organism less likely to live long enough to breed and pass that onto an offspring. Advantageous mutations do just the opposite.
