Examples of 'irreducible complexity' in a sentence

Meaning of "irreducible complexity"

irreducible complexity - A term often used in biology to describe a biological system or structure that is composed of multiple interconnected parts, where the removal of any one part causes the system to no longer function. Example: The concept of irreducible complexity challenges the theory of evolution
Show more definitions
  • The proposition that complex organs such as eyes and flagella must have started existing in their current form; i.e., that they cannot have evolved from previous, less complex stages.
