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.
