→Fishbians: This is "among the best documented of all"???
=== Fishbians ===
=== Fishbians ===
The so-called “fishbian” sequence of fossils shows the steps by which fish crawled out of the water and onto the land during the [[Devonian]] period. Fossils exist that span the entire transitionfrom the distinctly fish-like ''Eusthenopteron'' to the four-legged amphibian ''Hynerpeton''. The fossil record of the fish-to-amphibian transition is now among the best documented of all.
The so-called “fishbian” sequence of fossils supposedly shows the steps by which fish crawled out of the water and onto the land during the [[Devonian]] period. ''[[New Scientist]]'' claims that fossils have been "found spanning the entire transition from the distinctly fish-like ''Eusthenopteron'' to the four-legged amphibian ''Hynerpeton''".
However, the accompanying "family tree" showing a mere eight fossils in this sequence does not show ''any'' of them as being intermediate to any others, but all being on separate branches.
Furthermore, it has many of the forms in the sequence living contemporaneously with others in the supposed sequence, including some "later" ones living ''earlier'' then their supposed ancestors!
Nevertheless, ''New Scientist'' claims that the "fossil record of the fish-to-amphibian transition is now among the best documented of all"!
