“Over the past 410 million years, more than more than 175 species of coelacanths have been discovered across the globe.”
This article, like so many others I have seen lately, is badly written. Is the author suggesting that people were around in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, to observe the first coelacanths?
Technically it has been over the past 410 million years, since 1938 is well within that time. /rimshot
