FLY




                     Age: 50 million years
                     Period: Eocene

                     Location: Poland

                     One of the most distinctive features of the fossil record is
                     how species remain unchanged during the geological peri-
                     ods in which they appear. A species preserves the structure
                     it has when it first appears as a fossil until it either becomes
                     extinct or else comes down unchanged to the present, over

                     the course of tens or even hundreds of millions of years. This
                     is clear evidence that living things never evolved. There is
                     no difference between this 50-million-year-old fly fossilized
                     in amber shown here and flies living today.
