PrepTest 142 - Section 2 - Question 2

Show summary

Since there is no survival value in an animal's having an organ that is able to function when all its other organs have broken down to such a degree that the animal dies, it is a result of the efficiency of natural selection that no organ is likely to evolve in such a way that it greatly outlasts the body's other organs.

Method of Reasoning

The argument discusses the functioning of a whole (an animal’s body) in terms of its parts (an animal’s individual organs). It then concludes that, because there is no advantage to one of these parts outlasting the whole, this must be intentional (a result of natural selection).
