Re: “But it was just one fossil, Ahlberg notes. “You don’t want to draw too big of conclusions from one animal.”
Yeah, when have Darwinists ever done that?
Paleontologists may study and comment on one fossil but wait until that fossil’s information is confirmed by another or, hopefully several. In human fossils, for instance, Lucy was confirmed by other finds and by having some 40% of her skeleton. She was the first but Donald Johnson compared her with other similar creatures found over a wide area and from a long time period. Arid was older but much the same as were finds at numerous locations.
The study of Lucy is a good example of vigorous debate and controversy before a find is finally defined and new discoveries may change conclusions even then.
