Change is found. Your quibble is with the fossil record accurately portraying steady change to your satisfaction?

The fossil record clearly supports that once there were no hoofed or winged mammals. Where do you suppose they came from?

austrolopithocine is a bipedal ape and even if you think it a dead end product of ape evolution and not an ancestor, is it not itself fossil evidence of evolution supporting Darwin's theory, even if ‘only’ ape evolution?

The point of my last post is that the criteria for the fossil record is not mine but Darwin's. He hypothesized that the record would eventually provided the evidence to support his theory. Most life scientist agree that the record will never support his theory. Therefore, the serious discussion of evolution has left the dirt behind and move into the genetics lab. I would encourage those that would like to understand the topic better also move from the dirt to the lab. Darwin did not have the advantage of genetics and therefore heavily relied on comparative morphology. If he were alive today you would probably find him in the genetics lab.
