I wonder; how does this explain the appearance of defensive horns on some animals, like the Rhinoceros, and not on others, such as the Zebra? AG Does Natural Selection mean that random changes in an animal's body, such as a very small horn on a RhInoceros initially, gives it some minor competitive advantage, and that horn grows bigger over time, again randomly, until it gets large as we see today? And yet on other specie of plant eaters, like Zebra, no such process occurred? The process IMO looks teleological, that is, intentional in relation to interactions with the environment, not random. AG That is, it seems like a Rhinoceros developed a horn (actually two horns), because it needed it, whereas Zebras never developed horns because they ddin't need them.
