Abstract
Philosopher Daniel Dennett talks about the Darcy Thompson statement that "everything is the way it is because it got that way." Calling that a very fundamental Darwinian idea, Professor Dennett explains that it means everything either was something else at one time or comes from ancestors that were something else. He adds that between the earlier version of an organism and the way it is now is a series of steps, sometimes very few, sometimes numbering in the millions.
