HerpetologyFangirl Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I don't know about Evolution having a direction, I think it's more of a process which follows whichever direction the environment dictates at the time, but I fully agree with Mokele's explanation of evolutionary dead-ends. I found it very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaenid Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) I think that something wich is named here as "dead-end evolution" exists. I know only one example (difference than porifera) of species which maybe confirms this. Have you ever heard about Latimeria chalumnae? Probably it hasn't changed a lot from around 60 milions years. Sorry, if I failed and my example doesn't confirm this. And sorry about my English because I don't speak it very well. Mokele - your idea is great.
