MAMMAL TWIN THAT DEFY HOMOLOGY

The presence of "twin" species be-
tween marsupial and placental mam-
mals deals a serious blow to the claim
of homology. For example, the marsu-

pial Tasmanian wolf (above) and the
placental wolf found in North
America resemble each other to an ex-
traordinary degree. To the side can be North American wolf skull
seen the skulls of these two highly
similar animals. Such a close resem-
blance between the two, which cannot

be suggested to have any "evolution-
ary relationship," completely invali-
dates the claim of homology.

TWO UNRELATED EXTINCT MAMMALS WITH GIANT TEETH

Another example of extraordinary resemblance between placental and marsupial mammal
"twins," is that between the extinct mammals Smilodon (right) and Thylacosmilus (left), both preda-
tors with enormous front teeth. The great degree of resemblance between the skull and teeth
structures of these two mammals, between which no evolutionary relationship can be established,

overturns the homological view that similar structures are evidence in favor of evolution.
