The conditions under which early lifeforms originated and exploded into the many animal groups we see today is a mystery that has confounded scientists for decades. New research suggests shallow marine environments were a critical testbed for these early animals, providing the perfect space for them to evolve the physical characteristics required for them to move beyond their nearshore cradle.

"Hey Ralph ... how about THIS .... FINS ... yes ?"
More fake science
Yep those early creatures were real scientists plugging parts of one into another to see what animal they could come up with ...
“Experiment?”
Is being an amphibian a matter of choice, like gender is now?
The headline writer is clueless about the science underpinings of evolution.
People tend to anthropomorphize everything.
“Experiment”?
Like when a chick becomes a 4 year lesbian at university and then snaps back to normalcy upon completion of studies?
So where did these "scientists" carry out their experiments allowing them to make such claims? And where did they get the prehistoric fish to experiment on and how many eons did they observe them for?
This is just another evolutionary "Just So" story.
Upon further thought it seems like shallow waters would be a good environment for clams.
Bearded clams, that is.
Just think, for most of the history of the Earth, life was just single celled organisms and there was no life on land.
“We put together a database of over 2,700 early vertebrate occurrences from 480 million years ago to 360 million years ago, when fishes experienced a mass extinction, and determined what environments these fossils originally came from,” Sallan told Gizmodo. “We used the evolutionary tree of early fishes and mathematical models to reconstruct the ancestral habitats for different kinds of vertebrates. This showed that all major groups, from jawless fishes to jawed fishes, evolved in a very restricted band of coastal waters, well shoreward of the lagoon. We then compared the vertebrate record to that for invertebrates like shells and corals, which showed that early fishes thrived and diversified in much shallower waters than expected.”

Above is the method for the new claim that most FReepers will never bother to read.
“Shallow Waters Allowed Early Fish-Like Creatures to Experiment With Evolution”
i had no idea that early fish-like creatures were intelligent enough to perform experiments like that ... maybe these are the long lost link to today’s climate “scientists” ...
It would be so much easier to just come to Christ and see the Fathers hand in creation... than to put such faith in utter nonsense like this.
The amount of misplaced ‘faith’ in evolution is amazing to me....
When I first saw Shallow Waters I thought it was gonna be about Maxine! lol
Mad Max wouldn’t get her ankles wet wading the gene pool.
Yah, pretty much.
We have plenty of shallow waters today.
