A Spandrel in the Works

In 1979 Stephen Jay Gould and genetecist Richard C. Lewontin presented the paper "The Spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian Paradigm: A Critique of the Adaptationist Programme". What do spandrels have to do with evolution and biology? Sometimes, things are there simply because they are.
