Fossil Meat Found in 380-Million-Year-Old Fish

Anybody got a grill?

[taxcontrol]

I still don't buy the cross species evolution theory.

The headline reads like a bad fast food incident.

This is how they'll find Pelosi in 300 million years. With conservative meat in her stomach. Hillary's will be full of serpants.

[Larry Lucido]

I've got some canned salmon in the pantry that's almost that old.

[delacoert]

Wow, they found a fish that was celebrating 380-millionth birthday?

[KellyAdmirer]

Heavy jaws added to the placoderms' thuggish appearance

Hillary's direct ancestor, eh?

[Yardstick]

They do have a sci-fi appearance:

Fossil Meat?
I married mine!

He earned his money and he spent it.

"I still don't buy the cross species evolution theory."

I'm curious, can you expand on what you mean?

[RightWhale]

they're the first jawed animal, and we're the last. So they're our first jawed ancestors

This is loose logic.

Eastmanosteus calliaspis is one of two fossil fish species in which ancient but well-preserved soft tissue has been found.

The fossilized muscle cells, blood vessels, and nerve cells shed light on an important group of fish that were the evolutionary precursors of large land animals.

[Doomonyou]

Mmmmmmmmmmm, Jerky.

[Viking2002]

It DOES look a little like James Carville, don't it?

[taxcontrol]

Evolution has 6 definitions.

I will focus on only two of those definitions.

Evolution within a species that produces many varieties. For example, Dogs ... there are lots of varieties of dogs. I will agree that evolution happens WITHIN a species.

The other type of evolution, one species turning into another species... a cow giving offspring to a dog... does NOT happen. So evolution that crosses from one species to another is what I do not believe happens.

So what we have here is the world's oldest confirmed sushi eater, is that it?

That is a complete misrepresentation of the theory of evolution.

In fact, if a cow ever did give birth to a dog, it would go a long way towards demonstrating the mystical, supernatural suchwhat that some people would like to propose as an alternative to evolution.

Now, you've admitted that small changes occur. That's good. It's a start.

You deny that the small changes build over large amounts of time into large changes.

Can you propose a mechanism by which they're prevented from doing so?
