Re: coelacanth
OK. Robert a few points that might help here
The kind of selection that maintains morphology is referred to as stabilizing selection, this can occur in stable or changing environments
Directional selection can occur in constant environments
Relatively little evolutionary change may be the result of large populations, low reproductive rate and individual turnover, stabilizing selection, little directional selectionand a relatively stable environment
Biologists are well aware of many lines of organisms that have undergone little change for millions of years, as already pointed out in this thread. This in not a contradiction of toe principals.
I fail to understand why this fish should have feet? Its merely considered to be related to a group of fish that gave rise to land animals?
