Q

Fossil record predictions (evolution)

A
  1. Gradual sequence from simple to complex organisms
  2. Transitional forms should be abundant
  3. Livin species significantly different from fossil ancestors
  4. Modern species should not be found in rocks older than rocks containing supposed ancestors

Q

Fossil record predictions (creation)

A
  1. Sudden appearance of complex organisms with onto few transitional forms
  2. Organisms remain essentially the same to present of become extinct
  3. Fossilized modern species could be found in rock containing extinct species
  4. Different combos of fossil species on different strata indicate ecological zones not evolutionary history

26
Q

The history of list fossils species include two features inconsistent with

A

Gradualism

Q

Stasis

A

Moat species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth . They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as they did when they disappear.morphological change is usually limited and directionless
