don't confuse something's function for its origin. nietzsche said in the genealogy of morality that something functions a certain way not because it was designed for that but because a power superior to it overtook it. he used an eye as an example; an eye wasn't made to see- its capacity for sight is a result of evolution of power structures that use the eye to their advantage.

same with the organs. just because organs are used now to process food, doesn't mean they were made FOR that. and doesn't mean there is another function that they're capable of, that a new power and stronger power is changing their function
