Fossil Friday: A Croc Smile from the Cretaceous

Ubiquitous discontinuities contradict the gradualist predictions of Darwin’s theory and thus should count as empirical falsifications of that theory. Read More ›

Fossil Friday: New Kind of Silverfish Trapped in Sticky Resin

These incongruent or homoplastic characters are a notorious problem for phylogenetics and contradict the evolutionary prediction of a nested hierarchy. Read More ›
