Richard Dawkins on reverse engineering evolution's optimal beauty
Briefly

Reverse engineering allows scientists to deduce the intended design and function of objects, such as the Antikythera mechanism, by analyzing their components and structure.
The method of reverse engineering can apply to biological systems just as effectively as it does to man-made machines, revealing insights into the purpose of natural designs.
The process relies on formulating hypotheses about a designer's intentions and using the object's nature to verify those hypotheses, highlighting the relationship between purpose and design.
The comparison of engineered mechanisms to products of natural selection reveals the depth of evolutionary processes, illustrating complexities like those found in the Tiger's grace.
