Not sure what "theory" you're talking about. I know of no "niche" theory.
Is it your assertion that animals MUST keep changing, absent any reason to do so?

"I guess some will say it re-Evolved in 11 million years. But the facts are it has not changed at all."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...........
but but that means the evolutionists were wrong about this rat..dang I thought evolution was well THE TRUEST THEORY OF ALL, HOW COULD THEY BE SO WRONG. lets not bring it up in class the kiddies need not know.

To reappear after 11 million years is more exciting than if the rodent really had been a new species This from a supposedly well educated naturalist!!! No reappearance or discovery involved. Western scientists have just seen it for this first time alive and not as a fossil. The local folk have a name and (likely thought the article doesn't say so) recipes for this animal.

Maybe it just "re-evolved" from a bizarre midnight rat/squirrel tryst?
To: ConsentofGoverned
What's a few million years one way or the other anyway?
That's like a nano second to the evos.

Obviously the little mammal hasn't read Judge Jones' Dover PA ruling!
Evolution is a fact, lil' tree shrew. So you didn't bother to evolve you're breaking the LAW! Don't plan any trips to the Middle US Judicial District of PA, Mr. Rat-Squirrel -- you may be thrown in jail.

Why do you think it would?

That's true about the saber-toothed cats. And actually the modern Clouded Leopard has a tooth structure that is very similar to the saber-toothed cats of yore. It's elongated skull (which is so different from all other cats that it belongs to a genus of its own) houses the largest canines in proportion to body size. The Clouded Leopard is also known as the 'modern-day saber-tooth.'

Evolution is a fact, lil' tree shrew. So you didn't bother to evolve you're breaking the LAW! Absent an environmental pressure, a species is unlikely to evolve much. Sharks have remained relatively unchanged in tens of millions of years.

yeah, but it sure messes up their charts. LOL Not really. It's interesting that this species survived longer than we thought it did, but that doesn't really "mess up" anything.
