Gunter Wagner

Günter Wagner is a biologist known for his work in evolutionary biology, especially understanding how complex traits develop and are maintained through evolution. He studies the genetic and developmental processes that shape the diversity of life, focusing on concepts like homology (how different species share common features) and modularity (how different parts of an organism evolve somewhat independently). His research helps explain how organisms evolve new features and adapt over time, providing insights into the genetic basis of evolution and the interconnectedness of form and function in living beings.
