The biggest and baddest don't need fossils, their descendants are still around.
The extinct are known by their fossils.
Just like there are no desert penguins nor arctic scorpions, if there were, they didn't last long. If at some point radical climate changes happened, only those creatures who were smart enough to adapt or migrate, or who were inherently able to survive environmental changes, survived.
That doesn't mean they mutated, only that resilient families of a given species lived through some adverse condition (weather, predators, volcanos, meteors, drought, an ice age, etc) the weaker/dumber/slower members perished.
This doesn't have anything to do with evolving from monkeys.
That can’t be true. There are a million mutations between ape and man so where are those fossil records. Same with the mutations from dog to horse or lizard to monkey. There would have to be a fossil trail and there is none.
Rock, you have a good explanation but there is no proof of it and that is the hole in the theory.
