THE SKULLS THAT DEMOLISH DARWIN
BLACK BEAR SKULL
Age: 55 million years
Period: Paleocene
Location: Si Chuan,
China
Darwin invented unbelievable scenarios regard-
ing the illusory development of living things,
but found it no easy task to account for ocean-
dwelling mammals like the whale. This life
form could not be located anywhere on the im-
aginary tree of life that Darwin imagined. For
that reason, he put forward another unbelieva-
ble theory, suggesting that whales were de-
scended from bears that had used to hunt along
the sea shore. This claim—a source of embar-
rassment even for Darwin’s own supporters—
was logically bankrupt.
Present-day bears and fossils of bears dating
back millions of years have done away with this
claim of Darwin’s. The two look exactly the
same. Bears 55 million years ago had no arms
beginning to turn into fins or legs developing
into flukes. Bears have remained completely un-
changed for millions of years.
