wd400 has argued that gaps are expected. For instance here (2014):

… you wouldn’t expect to see intermediates if there were a set paths from A -> B -> … -> X, because intermediates will be replaced by more favoured variants. The branching nature of evolutionary process creates gaps in extant species/proteins/genes.

If huge gaps, like the one between non vertebrates and the first vertebrates (WRT proteins SATB1 and SATB2), are to be expected, why is there no such gap between the whale shark and humans?
Wd400 wants it both ways. If there are (huge) gaps, then this is expected and when there are no gaps then this is evidence for blind watchmaker evolution. |

I’m not sure you’ve been reading this thread? These genes arose in the ancestors of vertebrates. |
