Living Fossils

In 1938 the discovery of a large, unusual fish turned the scientific community on end. Dubbed a 'living fossil', the discovery of a coelacanth in a South African river shocked scientists around the world who thought this type of fish had died out millions of years prior during the process of evolution. Whether a shark, leaf, or crab, 'living fossils' are a challenge for evolutionary theorists, and create a fascinating debate among scholars. Do they indicate a younger earth than thought, placing the millions of years timeline in question? Or do they represent a deep mystery? In Living Fossils: Evolution, The Grand Experiment Volume 2 delves into these provocative questions and more.
