THE SKULLS THAT DEMOLISH DARWIN

TASMANIAN DEVIL SKULL

Age: 32 million years
Period: Oligocene
Location: An Hui, China

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 sudden explosion
of one group at the expense of an-
other. 10
One fossil that proves that its spe-
cies never passed through any in-
termediate stages is the 32-million-
year-old Tasmanian devil skull pic-
tured here.
