It is worth saying, though tautologically true, that evolution can't do what evolution can't do, and that the genetic code for new structures and functions has to be combinatorially accessible to the evolving genome.

It is worth adding that evolution can't do most of the things that evolution could do either. At least not in one instance like that which we see.
