A poplar leaf

You’ve probably seen a poplar tree and its leaves
before. Poplar trees grow almost everywhere. I’m a
50 million-year-old poplar leaf. Researchers found
me in America, in a fossil bed in the Green River,
Utah, and they were surprised to discover that there

was no difference between me and present-day
poplar leaves. This is because they were also told the
lie that the plants have undergone evolution. When
they saw me with their own eyes, they understood

that they had been fooled.
