I didn't know that, but it would make sense. It's like the example of ring species. If the divergence is recent, the intermediate steps are still around -- and the evidence of evolution in such cases is overwhelming.

The farther in the past the divergence occurred (as with frog species, I assume), the likelier it is that many of the intermediate stages have gone extinct. Our line is a recent one, so our cousins are still here. But they're going ...
