Is it worth updating the "evolution" part?

[edit]

Some of the "Evolution" section has "slightly outdated" information, for example the first paragraph from Haikouichthys contains information from a 2003 source. I suggest updating these parts of the "Evolution" department to more modern ones, for example, updating the Haikouichthys part to the 2018 source. Mannlegur (talk) 07:43, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, be brief. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:52, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
