Of junk science? How do you figure? BTW there are three little bones in your ear: Hammer, anvil and stirrup. You should have learned that in elementary school, HS at the latest.
Thank you.
I am dubious those are the bones in question when saying lizard jaws became them.
Asked vaderetro if those are the bonese he means.
Because the thing about the ear bones is circular reasoning. Here's why: all present mammals have 3 ear-bones therefore all mamammals known and unknown must have 3 ear bones. Mammals are defined as having mammary glands and there is absolutely no necessary connection between the ear bones and mammary glands. A more adequate connection might be made between live birth and mammary glands (and before the platypus was found such a connection was made - in fact in an article I posted earlier on this thread such a statement was made) but the platypus erased that from the list of "proofs" of being mammals. Now if you really believe in evolution then you must admit that at one time or another the ear-bones and the mammary glands were not necessarily to be found in each and every species. And that is why I say that paleontology is nonsense.
