[Sir Francis Dashwood]

"The history of most fossil species includes two features inconsistent with gradualism:

1. Stasis. Most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear ...

2. Sudden Appearance. In any local area, a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and 'fully formed'."

Paleontology, Harvard University

Great picture of the Leggus Chomppi, the missing link between one and two legged people.
