HYENA SKULL

Period: Miocene

According to the evolutionists' unscientific claims, reptiles are the ancestors of both birds and also
mammals. But there are vast differences between these two groups of living things. Mamals are

warm-blooded. Tthey produce and regulate their own body temperature, they give birth to and
suckle their young, and their bodies are covered with fur. But reptiles are cold-blooded. Tthey do not
produce warmth, and their body temperature varies according to the temperature of the ambient air.
They reproduce by laying eggs, do not suckle their offspring and their bodies are covered by scales.

How could a reptile have begun to produce body heat, developed a system of sweat glands to control
this heat, changed its scales into hairs and begun to produce milk? So far, evolutionists have not been
able to give one single convincing scientific answer to such questions.

This shows that the supposition that reptiles evolved into mammals has no scientific foundation.
Besides, paleontologists have not found one fossil of any intermediate form that connects reptiles to
mammals. For this reason, the evolutionist Roger Lewin had to admit that "The transition to the first
mammal . . . is still an enigma." (Roger Lewin, "Bones of Mammals, Ancestors Fleshed Out," Science,
Vol. 212, June 26, 1981, p. 1492.)
