These are human centrioles, the interesting thing about them is they self-assemble.

During cell division they organize themselves orthogonally to create the "aster" where the DNA aligns itself.

Most of the time though, they form the cytoskeleton, which is the structural piece that maintains the shape of the cell. The same proteins in centrioles form the microtubules responsible for transporting things from one part of a cell to another.

Cellular Biology was an avocation of mine for awhile because of an intersection with computer consulting work I was doing.
No way Evolution in its most common forms is compatible with that.
 
They recently found some plant proteins that self assemble into Sierpinski gaskets.
