The flood model
Actually, Rox, the flood predicts that there will be no such transitions. They are only "sorted" into that order by some sort of accident. I guess our new find with it's wee little legs out ran the more fish like forms by a bit and a bit less than the ones with better legs.

Why isn't Tiktaalik a transitional?

NJ says:
Yes, I was aware of the argument when it was discovered. Naturally, I remain unconvinced. And this is due in part that it is incomplete. We know nothing of the hindquarters, yet we're told that its essentially a missing link.
​
in regards to Tiktaalik.
​
I'd like to know what NJ's reasoning is for the above comment.
I'd like NJ to explain why the missing hind part is important in particular.
