Don’t get me started on Darwin vs Creationism. These guys don’t even know who is alive or extinct. It’s why I have problems with The Origin of the Species being believable
Two marsupial species scientists believed had vanished more than 6,000 years ago have been discovered alive in the remote rainforests of Western New Guinea.
The discovery was detailed in studies published in Records of the Australian Museum, according to a March 6 press release from the museum obtained by PEOPLE. Researchers identified living pygmy long-fingered possums (Dactylonax kambuayai) and the ring-tailed glider (Tous ayamaruensis) in the rainforests on the Vogelkop Peninsula of New Guinea. The animals are now considered Lazarus species, or part of the Lazarus taxon, a group of animals that have been found living after they were thought extinct and previously known only from fossils.
“The discovery of one Lazarus taxon, even if thought to have become extinct recently, is an exceptional discovery,” said lead researcher Professor Tim Flannery, an Australian Museum Distinguished Visiting Fellow. “The discovery of two species, thought to have been extinct for thousands of years, is remarkable.”
