And, once again, I ask you to show me an example.
Can you point out a species that exists today via adaptation whose lineage can be traced back to fossils, some of which that adapted in the wrong direction?
Defin “adapted in the wrong direction.”
That’s a concept foreign to biology.
As for tracing lineages back to fossils, let’s look at your logic. If you dig up a human skull, do you know from it’s properties whether or not it is a direct ancestor?
Do you know if you and the person whose skull it is share a common ancestor? By what reasoning do you reach a conclusion?
