GRASSHOPPER
Age: 125 million years
Period: Cretaceous
Location: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
In the classification of living things, arthropods represent a sub-phylum within the
phylum Insecta. The earliest insect fossils date back to the Devonian Period (417 to
354 million years ago). One major dilemma for evolutionists is the way that species
that existed 400 million years ago are no different from their counterparts alive
today.
The same applies to grasshoppers, which have remained unchanged from the time
they first appeared in the fossil record. The grasshopper pictured confirms that 100-
million-year-old grasshoppers were identical in every way to present-day grasshop-
pers, thus refuting evolution.
