Earth Quote by David Kitts

There are gaps in the fossil graveyard, places where there should be intermediate forms, but where there is nothing whatsoever instead. No paleontologist..denies that…

Established species are evolving so slowly that major transitions between genera and higher taxa must be occurring within small rapidly evolving populations that leave…

The known fossil record fails to document a single example of phyletic evolution i.e., a species becoming a new species accomplishing a major morphological…

We know evolution happened not because of transitional fossils such as A. natans but because of the convergence of evidence from such diverse fields…

The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as a trade secret of Paleontology. Evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have…

Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists-whether through design or stupidity, I…

“Wherever sufficiently numerous series of the remains of any given group, which has endured for a long space of time, are carefully examined, their…

“In most people's minds, fossils and Evolution go hand in hand. In reality, fossils are a great embarrassment to Evolutionary theory and offer strong…

Paleontologists had long been aware of a seeming contradiction between Darwin's postulate of gradualism, confirmed by the work of population genetics, and the actual…

— Ernst Mayr

Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms.

— Charles Darwin

We don't need fossils - the case for evolution is watertight without them; so it is paradoxical to use gaps in the fossil record…
