THE FOSSIL RECORD: ". . . the sudden manner in which several groups of species first appear in our European formations;-the almost entire absence, as at present known, of formations rich in fossils beneath the Cambrian strata,-are all undoubtedly of the most serious nature. We see this in the fact that the most eminent paleontologists, namely Cuvier, Agassiz, Barrande, Pictet, Falconer, E. Forbes, &c., and all our greatest geologists, as Lyell, Murchison, Sedgewick, &c., have unanimously, often vehemently, maintained the immutability of species [in other words, species do not evolve]. (C. Darwin) After 150 years, still no evidence of gradual change has been found.)
