“Established species are evolving so slowly that major transitions between genera and higher taxa must be occurring within small rapidly evolving populations that leave NO LEGIBLE FOSSIL RECORD.” RecordsHigherMajorsSpeciesPopulationEvolveTransitionFossils Author:Steven M. Stanley
“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 transition and hence offers no evidence that the gradualistic model can be valid.” KnownRecordsFailingExampleEvolutionBecomingOffersMajorsModelsEvidenceSpeciesTransitionDocumentsFossils Author:Steven M.
