May be they are Modules with feature toggles and evolution just turns on/off what is there already.

This is part of the post-intelligent-design attack on evolution. The idea that we couldn't have evolved, because evolution can't create information. It merely turns on and off information that is already there. The website linked here is an intelligent design site. But the idea in your comment would be used in various forms on a number of other creationist sites. It allows them to imply that these feature modules were created by God. And evolutionary change is merely flicking switches.
Yeah, I noticed as I made my comment that this was a likely conclusion. Either God or Aliens. Or Both.

However, I didn't know that the web site itself was an intelligent design site.
