Saru Posted April 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Referred to as a 'living fossil', the coelacanth has barely changed at all in over 300 million years. The genetic secrets of a "living fossil" have been revealed by scientists.

Merc14 Posted April 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I would bet that there are many other "Living Fossils" in the midnight and abyssal zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlfromOz Posted April 28, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 28, 2013 This is one of the many examples of the theory of evolution.It doesn't exist as far as I believe.As one of our regular readers suggested before,"If Man was once ape,then why are there still apes & human beings?" That was well said! Oh,and I love Billy Connolly too. lol XOXOXO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted April 28, 2013 #14 Share Posted April 28, 2013 PLEASE...not another one.BTW I saw a really cool ( for a 10 year old boy) movie once about a Coelacanth. A scientist was studying the thing in a lab and a dragon fly landed on it for a snack - voila'!! A giant dragon fly enters the picture. the 1960's were a cool time to be a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineffectiveArtist Posted April 29, 2013 #15 Share Posted April 29, 2013 it would seem no evolution on this fish took place because it had no need to evolve. Does that sound good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what they are theorizing and I am sure there are many more abyss dwellers that have been around in the same form for millions of years.
