Transitional Fossils: Archaeopteryx, Dinosaur-Avian Evolution and Creationism
Transitional Fossils: Archaeopteryx, Dinosaur-Bird Evolution and Creationism Charles Darwin predicted that the fossil record would reveal transitional fossils, showing intermediate features between the different types if animals. If everything evolved from ‘lower’ orders, then we should indeed find fossils that show traits of both modern and ancestral (ie if birds evolved from reptiles, we should […]
