In certain motile prokaryotes, dozens of different proteins comprise the motor that powers the prokaryotic flagellum. The motor has a complicated structure, and its various proteins interact to carry out its function. Based on Darwinʹs explanation for the existence of human eyes, how would he probably have explained the existence of such motors?
