Conflicts Between Darwinian Theory and Natural History
FIG O: Origin of the Phyla: Darwinian
predictions
FIG P: Origin of the Phyla: Darwinian
predictions
FIG Q: The origin of the phyla:
the fossil evidence
The sudden appearance of between 50 and 100 disparate body plans with extremely
low species diversity supports the conclusion that neither gradual Darwinian
evolution nor lower taxon-level punctuations can account for the origin
of the higher taxa and the major body plans.
FIG R: The origin of the phyla:
the fossil evidence
The sudden appearance of between 50 and 100 disparate body plans with extremely
low species diversity supports the conclusion that neither gradual Darwinian
evolution nor lower taxon-level punctuations can account for the origin
of the higher taxa and the major body plans.
