                  TASMANIAN DEVIL SKULL



                  Age: 32 million years old


                  Location: An Hui, China


                  Period: Oligocene

                  The British paleontologist Derek W. Ager describes how the fossil
                  record poses a major difficulty for the theory of evolution:

                      The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail, whether at the level of

                      orders or of species, we find—over and over again—not gradual evolution, but the sud-
                      den explosion of one group at the expense of another. (Derek A. Ager, “The Nature of the
                      Fossil Record”, Proceedings of the British Geological Association, Vol. 87, 1976, p. 133)


                  One fossil that proves that its species never passed through any intermediate stages
                  is the 32-million-year-old Tasmanian devil skull pictured here.
