Quote:
"The coelacanths, which are related to lungfishes and tetrapods, were believed to have been extinct since the end of the Cretaceous period. They were considered the "missing link" between the fish and the tetrapods until the first Latimeria specimen was found off the east coast of South Africa, off the Chalumna River in 1938."

TO convert the 7 billion + humans who might care or might not care of the gospel of fish into fish loving fanatics. yes we are bigoted and stupid of other people opinions. accept it, we are only fish. actually to be true, we don't care what happened before fish came (you have science for that explanations), nor we care about fossil records(you have science for that), nor we care about conspiracy theories(you have a bunch of internet morons for that)
