Re: The Section Entitled "Future"

edit

Whilst I enjoy speculative evolution as much as the next man, I'm curious as to the specific source(s) from which the information concerning the evolution of polypterids over the next 600 million years was derived. I find it remarkably hard to believe evolution to be so predictable that, even with modern science, anyone could say with absolute confidence how any organism will evolve over the next million, let alone 600 million years. Whilst I can't say the section is necessarily incorrect, or even really doubt its plausibility with relative confidence, Carl Sagan's aphorism "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." comes to mind.Aquakeeper14 (talk) 00:52, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
