based conclusion data evidence evolution evolved genetic high living mechanism opposite pattern strongest support traits
This is the strongest evidence yet to support irreversibility. If we had not used the genetic data coding for this reproductive mechanism and only inferred the pattern of evolution based on the traits of living species, we would have come to the opposite conclusion and with high statistical support that the trait evolved more than once.

I think there is a deep-seated desire to believe that humans are special, and that the Earth is our dominion rather than we're just another endpoint among all the other endpoints of evolution.
