Living Fossils, Evolution, and Cryptids (2017x5)

Date de diffusion: Mar 19, 2017

Sorry for the very long wait! I’m back babe and we are tackling a topic I’ve dealt with a lot of this channel: the evolutionary and cryptozoological relationships of living fossils with biology. Organisms like crocodilians and coelacanths are often called living fossils and everyone from creationists to cryptozoologists use them constantly to prove either dinosaur and man co-existence or to disprove evolution. Today, I plan on dispelling a lot of the confusion associated with this topic by looking at the actual scientific evidence. Hope you enjoy!
