A very readable expose of the "trade secret" of paleontology
Most people assume fossils somehow prove the grand story of evolution. Would you believe Darwin believed the fossil record was his biggest problem? Sunderland interviewed five of the world's leading paleontologists, and the results of his interviews form the basis for this book. While evolutionary paleontologists assure the public that the fossil record shows evolution, behind the scenes they admit the evidence does not support molecules-to-man evolution at all. The lack of true transition forms (showing new features in development, as distinct from fully formed) is what Stephen J. Gould called the "trade secret of paleontology." This book shows just how discomforting a secret it is.
