THE SKULLS THAT DEMOLISH DARWIN
HYENA SKULL
Age: 80 million years
Period: Cretaceous
Location: Gui Zhou, China

In the middle of the 20 century, the
unearthing of fossils that were com-
pletely unchanged—from the fossil
record in which Darwin and the
Darwinists who came after him placed
such great hopes—instilled terrible
panic in the adherents of the theory of
evolution. They gave the name stasis to
this stability in fossils and, in the face
of this unexpected development re-
vealed by the fossil record, they came
up with the “punctuated evolution”
theory to make these new fossils fit in
with their earlier main thesis.
They imagined that this claim, devoid
of any scientific evidence and in fact a
totally ludicrous ideas, would be their
salvation. Yet they never expected that
the fossil record would then inflict an
even greater disappointment: In the
early 1970s, when punctuated evolu-
tion was regarded as a literal savior,
only a few specimens of “living fos-
sils” had been identified in the fossil
record. But Darwinists never thought
that these living fossils would later ac-
tually number in the millions. Today,
the countless documented living fos-
sils have demolished all the assump-
tions of the theory of evolution. One of
these is the 80-million-year-old hyena
skull illustrated.
