Advances in genetics now allow researchers to trace biological changes far deeper into the past than previously possible. Even with these powerful tools, many questions remain unanswered. One long standing puzzle has challenged biologists for decades.

Genes and their functions often stay remarkably similar across species, even when those species diverged...
