There are no real "transition" species. All species are transitions between what was and what will be. If you find a transitional fossil, it means you've found something between two species already known and adding "transitional" lets other biologists know what you think you've found. |
Have there been any fossils that you know of that show any conclusive evidence that there is a common species that shoots off another, extremely different species (say, a whale, a horse, a bat, and a human as final products)?
