One drawback of defending gradual Darwinian evolution is the existence of the giraffe who could reach the tall tree leaves without rivals. But then there should be skeletons of the less successful earlier versions with short necks, medium necks, longer necks and the living tall giraffes. There aren’t. Just the tall ones.

This was, I think, based on the now out of favor “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.”
I’m not rooting for any sides in all of this. Just posting.

It’s clearly a brontosaurus. They used it for transportation as they hadn’t invented electric vehicles yet.
