Was the Ceolacanth (sp?), which was believed extinct for 70 million years considered a problem after a few of them were caught and found to have none of the midway modifications to becoming a land animal?
Don't fall for that one Hangdawg13, evolution by no means requires that the ceolocanth be changed. Infact even if we found a dinosaur living in the deepest darkest jungle, it would not hurt evolution.
case in point, frogs and Crocodiles have remained pretty much the same since the days of the dinosaurs. Why is this? Because they satisfy the requirements for succesfull life that there is little to no pressure for change.
Thus, the ceolocanth is just another example of this same phenomena.
Hope that helped.
