come to "junk" their concept of junk DNA. The title of an article by Wojciech Makalowski of Pennsylvania
State University shows the change: "Not Junk After All." Makalowski sums up the situation in these words:

. . . [T]he view of junk DNA, especially repetitive elements, began to change in the early 1990s. Now, more and
more biologists regard repetitive elements as a genomic treasure. . . These two papers demonstrate that repeti-
tive elements are not useless junk DNA but rather are important, integral components of eukaryotic genomes. .

. Therefore, repetitive DNA should be called not junk DNA. . . 101

Once upon a time, you may have heard a lot about the idea of junk DNA and the evolutionist specula-
tions connected with it.
But as outlined here, Darwinism's last assertion of "vestigiality"—junk DNA—has passed into history,
and this last flutter of Darwinism has also been discredited.
