For this, there was no logical explanation. The theory of evo-
lution suffered a major surprise in the 20th century. First, paleon-
tology declared that the missing intermediate-form fossils that
Darwin had been sure would be discovered in the future did not
exist in the geologic record. Almost every sedimentary stratum in
the world had been excavated, yet none of the intermediate forms
expected by Darwin and his supporters had been found.
A second surprise for the theory of evolution was the newly
discovered science of genetics, which soon showed that life forms
were far too complex and had structures that were far too stable
to have come about by way of the natural selection envisaged by
Darwin.
