"No animal can plan ahead how it will evolve, so why do some evolutionists talk like they do?
“500-million-year-old creature was on the way to evolving jaws,” Sid Perkins titled his short article in Science Magazine, accompanied by an artist’s conception of “one of the world’s oldest known vertebrates”—a Cambrian creature named Metaspriggina from Canada.
Tia Ghose surmises that this “tiny fish” was possibly “the ancestor of almost all living vertebrates.” It lived
during the “Cambrian Explosion, the ‘big bang’ when almost all complex life appeared.” These fossils hail from the newly-discovered Marble Canyon site in Kootenay National Park that rivals the famous Burgess Shale site. The “camera eyes” are “indisputable vertebrate eyes,” one paleontologist said.
Why does Perkins think the animals were “on the way” to developing jaws? "The arrangement of these paired structures foreshadows that seen in fish that evolved much later, and the slightly thicker dimensions of the foremost pair of gill supports may reveal the first steps in the evolution of jaws. Detailed analyses place Metaspriggina near the base of the vertebrate family tree and certainly among the earliest fish," the team suggests.
The trouble with this “weird-looking specimen” is that it “rewrites man’s evolutionary history” because it “disproves the long-held theory that modern animals with bony skeletons (osteichthyans) evolved from a shark-like creature with a frame made of cartilage.” It looks now like the bony fish were the ancestors of the cartilaginous fish. “This astounding discovery does throw a spanner in the works of some long-held ideas about vertebrate evolution,” a lead author said. Other co-authors remarked, “It will take time to fully digest the implications of such a remarkable fossil, but it is clear that a major reframing of our understanding of early gnathostome (jawed vertebrate) evolution is now in full swing.”" CEH
