Amphistium quote:

edit

The researchers concluded that "the change happened gradually, in a way consistent with evolution via natural selection—not suddenly, as researchers once had little choice but to believe."

Reference

Here's what it says in the article it's from:

CT scans of 50-million-year-old fossils have revealed an intermediate species between primitive flatfishes (with eyes on both sides of their heads) and the modern, lopsided versions, which include sole, flounder, and halibut.

So the change happened gradually, in a way consistent with evolution via natural selection—not suddenly, as researchers once had little choice but to believe, the authors of the new study say.

The longstanding gap in the flatfish fossil record has long been explained by a "hopeful monster"—scientific jargon for an unknown animal blessed with a severe but helpful mutation that was passed down to its descendants.

It does not use direct quotation marks, so is it actually a direct quote? Who exactly said it? Can we find the original published study and then see what they say in that? --Harizotoh9 (talk) 00:04, 19 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
