Therefore, it is way more than a lack of fossils that is at work here, there is a complete lack of even the remotest proof of any descent of the platypus from any single species. -me-

No.

What a brilliant refutation! How many years did you research that answer?

A better question, how many times have I already told you? But still you say there is nothing.

Two species of Obduron, one Steropodon, and one Monotrematum sudamericanum. Not much, but 4 does not equal zero. Thus, "No."

You've also been saying dicksoni is only a bit of jawbone.

This was followed in 1985 by a spectacular find: an almost complete skull of a fossil platypus about 15 to 20 million years old. This has been named Obdurodon dicksoni (Archer, Jenkins, Hand, Murray, & Godthelp. 1992; Archer, Hand, & Godthelp, 1994). Its skull is more generalized, and about 25% longer, than that of the modern platypus. Some other fossils, including a partial lower jaw, have since been discovered at Riversleigh.

So, you're going to drop that, right? A nearly complete skull and a partial jaw is more than a partial jaw, would you agree?
