On an episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin and Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig continue their discussion of why the body plan of the long-necked giraffe could not have evolved in a step-by-step Darwinian fashion.

Dr. Lönnig gives an account of the rational design of the giraffe’s recurrent laryngeal nerve, a feature that Richard Dawkins and other evolutionists claim can only be explained by Darwinian evolution.
