A Shuffled Piano Board....
a: Genetic recombination ~
b: playing keys on a (genetic) piano
What: "Recombination is analogous to playing keys on a (genetic) piano : the same 88 keys or notes of a piano can be played, but different music is heard each time. Merely playing a different combination of keys (i.e. merely playing a different song) on the (genetic) piano cannot account for the origin of the piano in the first place."
