Comment:

important clue: There is less computational power, i.e., number of neurons and connections, in the non-modular than in the modular architectures (see p.5)

Results support model by Hughes1994: Functional specialization facilitated when genes serving multiple functions are duplicated - after duplication genes are released from conflicting demands and each copy can specialize on one function of the ancestral gene (only one specialization factor, though)
copies must not interfere too much initially for that to work, no?
