Here’s an interesting thought.

These organisms have been living and reproducing for 15 million years. Have any of them ‘evolved’?

There are 3507 different organisms now. How many were there 15 million years ago ?

P.S. Technically there are 3507 organisms in the sample. Anything bigger than a football wouldn’t fit. And we know that life in the oceans and lakes is stratified. So the sample represents one ‘layer’ of the water.

We don’t really know how many different organisms are in the lake at all.

The scientists should check the archives.
