Abstract
Exaptations are adaptive traits that do not originate <jats:italic>de novo</jats:italic> but from other adaptive traits. They include complex macroscopic traits, such as the middle ear bones of mammals, which originated from reptile jaw bones, but also molecular traits, such as new binding sites of transcriptional regulators. What determines whether a trait originates <jats:italic>de novo</jats:italic> or as an exaptation is unknown. I here use simple information theoretic concepts to quantify a molecular phenotype’s potential to give
