After more than a century of fossil-hunting, the problem is even worse than in Darwin's day. The gaps are thoroughly documented. Dem bones are not connected. Our conclusion, then, is that fossils may be grouped together into different kinds of plants and animals which cannot be shown by fossil intermediates to have originated by evolution from other previously existing kinds. According to this theory a particular species remained relatively unchanged for a long time, but suddenly a new kind evolved, so rapidly that the intermediate fossils were not preserved in sufficient numbers to be found.
Tree shrews are little mousy creatures, some of which hunt for insects in trees Madagascar.
No, not a single bone. In fact, what is said to be the most ancient bat fossil is essentially identical in all important features with a modern bat. There is not a trace of fossil evidence for any intermediate forms. Thus, for the history of the supposed evolution of bats we are forced to use our imagination. There was this little shrew that yearned to catch the insects that got away because they could fly.
