The architecture of the mammalian lung has been shown to be correctly described using a fractal model with a complex dimension, related to a Cantor set with random errors, for four different species. Here we provide an interpretation of that model that has implications for biological evolution. We argue that fractals are more error tolerant than other structures and therefore have an evolutionary advantage.
