We can only make "educated" guesses based on what little evidence we have, and what seems remotely plausable, assuming the evidence is being analyzed correctly. I believe that understanding the fossil record is like taking 10,000 grains of sand from a beach and then try to theorize what they all look like. If you happened to sample a spot that had of black sand you might believe that black sand dominated the entire beach. I think many people forget that all this is an educated guess and may in fact be completely wrong. I think all life adapts to conditions by a game of chance called natural selection. It works good for me but doesn't mean I think it's correct either. Harry Witmore +More Cloud Jungle Art www.witmore.net
