3.7kSo to wrap this thread up, can we say we don't need to know the full adaptive biology of successive species to know that they evolve from each other? — Gregory
Seems unlikely that we could dig up a complete continuum of past life.
We're also burning some of the remains in our cars.
In a sense, every species was/is subject to mutation/change over time, i.e. transitional, only once extinct did that end.
