Where are the Transitional Fossils?

A brief glimpse of some of the wide variety of transitional fossils which the world has to offer.

For those who are interested, the fossils shown in this are Haikouichthys Tiktaalik Icthyostega Acanthostega Eusthenopteron Labyrinthodont Panderichthys Coelacanth Hynerpeton Spathi Cephalus cephalaspis Archaeopteryx Colosteidae Cotylosaurs celophysis sinornithosaurus Compsognathus Sinosauropteryx Microraptor Edaphosaurus Dimetrodon sphenacodon haptodus Archaeothyris Afarensis Australopithecus Neanderthalensis Homo Erectus Paleomastodon Hyracotherium Mammut Americanum Moertherium Gompotherium Deinotherium Woolly Mammoth Homo Habilis Homosapien Homosapiensapien and various other Tetrapods

If i've evolved from a monkey I'm not in any position to comment but the choice of music is very stiring. I think I may have evolved from a punk rocker into a clasical appreciator. Thank you!!

[shlunko]

@Shakeytwoswords Haha yes, well you didn't quite evolve from a monkey..but you're welcome none the less XD

[shlunko]

@1001Freedom You didn't answer my question, evolution is a science; please provide me with evidence to the contrary of this.

[wildtatz]

it,s only arrogants ,, we are better than monkeys ,, better than all animals we are so good and perfect that we hunt and kill , not for hunger ,,no just for the thrill !!!

i,m so glad that i,m a fucking monkey ,,for sure !!!!

@1001Freedom fuck you man what your problem

[designsublime]

GREAT VIDEO! REALLY GREAT.

[usmclukie]

@shlunko..This is a FANTASIC video you put together..Alot of skill & time went into creating these illistrations and computer animations, top notch no doubt.However, I'm confused. I though you ppl use Scientific processes( you know, testing and observing)in everything to back your religion(EVOLUTION).Who observed these organisms evolving from one to another kind? Also, please explain how you can prove a fossil ever had offspring, let alone offspring of another kind of organism.Great cartoon thou

Take also into account that there are seven levels of the tree of life and seven days of creation, and that there are TWO DIFFERENT accounts of the creation of human beings in the bible. It seems to me that maybe something more subtle is going on here than just a literal account, but seriously in the end, this shouldn't be something that people divide into factions over.

[relotixke1]

I don't understand the mindset of religious people who disregard evolution. Let me ask this question: which is more amazing to think about? That God could just sort of wave his hand and cause everything to be so, as it is now, or that he could drop a single strand of energy into the void in just the perfect way that billions and billions of years later life could form and over millions of years evolve into humans?

Natural selection is not a magical process. It's actually a fairly basic concept to understand. But please tell me, what about it do you think is magical? The fossil evidence that currently exists is overwhelming and could only be interpreted one way, that is unless you have a pre-existing bias to prop up (I'm refering to you of course). Current genetic evidence is also overwhelming (you sir/madam are about 98% GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to a chimpanzee, for starters)

@TechnicallyTechnical The magic of land mammals altering organs and limbs while evolving into whales upon crossing millions of years under a myth borrowed to Greek mythology is way more fantasist. Fossils could support any preconceived evolutionary fairy tales.

[TechnicallyTechnical]

@alexthasy You know what's voodoo magic?  A fully formed human being spontaneously created out of some dust (see Genesis). I would much rather believe the crushing amount of emperical evidence that supports Natural Selection (what you so graciously call "Darwinian Atheist Nonsense") than that stupid fairy tale. Not aware of the evidence for evolution? I suspect that's because you're purposely avoiding it to keep your fantasies alive.

[alexthasy]

@TechnicallyTechnical Land mammals altering organs and limbs while magically and atheistically evolving into whales is voodoo and has nothing to do with science. You should read Darwinian atheist theologians Dawkins and Sagan if you want to know what is ridiculous nonsense
