Fossil Called Missing Link From Sea to Land Animals
Fossil Called Missing Link From Sea to Land Animals
Good lord, we're decendants of giant-headed fish with weird fins!!!!
Can someone explain to me HOW a fish can lead to a mammal? I mean, I always thought we came from a central source of bateria that broke off of each other, each one creating the different branches of animals: insects, birds, fish, reptiles, and mammals.

It's not a chain - that's how. It's a complex web. Not to mention the fact that if I remember my AP Bio class correctly, all life began in the seas because the land was too inhospitable.
There were some science shows I saw in the last year or so which proposed a really interesting idea...
Although "all life began in the seas" is still the standard model, it has been suggested--thanks to the extremophiles discovered during the last few years--that, because "the land was too inhospitable," life may've begun underground, even before there were seas. It has further been suggested that the vast bulk of the biomass on the planet Is underground, and that life on the surface is but a "thin smear" by comparison.
Life began in the dirt. Casts Adam being created outta clay in a whole new light. 😉

Well the actual "feet" on it are displayed as a drawing, so I feel safe in saying that it will be revealed in less than five years that they discovered:an aligator!
Yes, I'm sure in five years they'll reconsider and declare it to be an alligator. Because, it's not like these scientists know what a fossilized alligator would look like or anything.
