Word of the Week

Intelligent Designers beware: The discovery of the fishapod, a creature from 375 million years ago with swim fins, gills, interlocking rib cage and wrist like bones, is just one more piece of Darwin's puzzle. Called a fishapod because it has features of fish and four-legged animals (tetrapods), the creature is believed to have swam in the water and even ventured onto land. The fossils were found on Ellesmere Island in Canada and the detailed article can be found in the April 6 issue of Nature. No doubt Darwin is clapping in his grave.
