Tags: ExamplesOf course the orders all converge backward in time, to different degrees.
Tags: Backward, Degrees, TimeSplitting and gradual divergence of genera is exemplified very well and in a large variety of organisms.
Tags: Gradual, Large, VarietyCertainly paleontologists have found samples of an extremely small fraction, only, of the earth's extinct species, and even for groups that are most readily preserved and found as fossils they can never expect to find more than a fraction.
Tags: Earth, Found, SmallDarwin recognized the fact that paleontology then seemed to provide evidence against rather for evolution in general or the gradual origin of taxonomic categories in particular.
Tags: Against, Fact, RatherEvery paleontologist knows that most new species, genera, and families, and that nearly all categories above the level of family appear in the record suddenly and are not led up to by known, gradual, completely continuous transitional sequences.
