TOKYO — Japanese researchers said Sunday that a bottlenose dolphin captured last month has an extra set of fins that could be the remains of back legs, a discovery that may provide further evidence that ocean-dwelling mammals once lived on land.

Observed Evolution!

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

why would a mutation or a defect automatically be subscribed to evolution? all they have is a extra set of fins, they observed nothing. there was no process to observe all they have is butkus and are trying to turn it into something.
talk about grasping at straws. this isn't proof. these faity tales are the reason i avoid all evolutionary threads now.

Because people who know what they are talking about, said so.

Min, obviously Seiji Osumi doesn't know what he is talking about since the expert Archbishop Ussher proclaimed that Sunday, October 23, 4004 bce, was the beginning of the world. The bible backs it up so it cannot be any type of fairy tale, right?Fossil remains show dolphins and whales were four-footed land animals about 50 million years ago and share the same common ancestor as hippos and deer. Scientists believe they later transitioned to an aquatic lifestyle and their hind limbs disappeared.
Though odd-shaped protrusions have been found near the tails of dolphins and whales captured in the past, researchers say this was the first time one had been found with well-developed, symmetrical fins, Hayashi said.
"I believe the fins may be remains from the time when dolphins' ancient ancestors lived on land ... this is an unprecedented discovery," Seiji Osumi, an adviser at Tokyo's Institute of Cetacean Research, said at a news conference televised Sunday.

Don't insult Bishop Ussher. Arch has pin-ups of him on his wall.

so birth defects happened in the past as well, it is not new or news. what is interesting is that educated men would extrapolate such natural happenings to a theory that can't be proven.Though odd-shaped protrusions have been found near the tails of dolphins and whales captured in the past, researchers say this was the first time one had been found with well-developed, symmetrical fins, Hayashi said.
insult him all you want, i only have his book which was not that good anyways. i do not subscribe to the ussher school of thought as he is off by about 2-4,000 years.Don't insult Bishop Ussher. Arch has pin-ups of him on his wall
Ussher
You're serious ... aren't you. To state that the world was created 6-8,000 years ago is ludicrous.insult him all you want, i only have his book which was not that good anyways. i do not subscribe to the ussher school of thought as he is off by about 2-4,000 years.

I'm not at all sure about the first question, birth defects can come from a variety of reasons but I believe the second question is true.

I didn't get that out of the story, digit.
Present tense and earlier they used the phrase "captured" not "killed."
Interesting point, though.
The dolphin measures 8.92 feet and is about five years old, according to the museum.
