Fossils are remnants of traits expressed by genes. We can now look directly at the genetics behind those traits. The fossil record isn't necessary anymore but it is still very interesting and very useful...

Like I said, 10 decades of devotion to a notion that failed, so it is abandoned.

But wait until the next "fossil proof" is discovered, and it will be all the rage. :) Cracks me up.

The fossil record agrees very closly with the theory of evolution. Genetics however is the new frontier. Science progresses this way.
