Li Gang reasoned that the mammal finished synchronized evolution for both its upper part and lower part a long time ago. However, for some special survival need it had to let its evolved lower part to "retrogress" into a more primitive state.

Data must be interpreted in such a way so as to support the Theory. That's science. Perhaps the findings can can be peer reviewed by the Lancet -- they accept anything.

whoops, animal doesn't fit current family tree...invent something called retrogression and don't worry about it...if we find something later, we can always go to inverted retrogression....
