I know there's a lungfish, but that's lungs with no legs.
Lungfish are believed to be the closest living relatives of the tetrapods, and share a number of important characteristics with them. Among these characters are tooth enamel, separation of pulmonary blood flow from body blood flow, arrangement of the skull bones, and the presence of four similarly sized limbs with the same position and structure as the four tetrapod legs. However, there is still debate about the relationships among the Sarcopterygii.
Intro to the Dipnoi (the lungfish) The fins do seem to be going the right way.
I read recently that humans, chimps, and gorillas all have a gene for vitamin C, but that the same mutation occurs in all three species, rendering it useless. Evolution has an obvious explanation for this. Does any other theory? In fact, Darwinism predicts that other genes will also show mutations common to us and the great apes, but not found in other creatures. If the prediction is validated, it seems to me that this is an example of a true prediction made by Darwinian reasoning. Do any Id-ers or creationists have a comment?
