That last IP edit reminded me. A section on the Platypus and other animals like that could be interesting. It would go under "Misunderstandings". --[[User:Harizotoh9|Harizotoh9]] ([[User talk:Harizotoh9|talk]]) 02:38, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
:: Mm, yes. Love the mammal evolving into a duck, or was it the other way round. It will be a controversial section that could create quite a challenge for FA; finding reliable, undisputed sources for it might be .. interesting.

== Strange content in "missing link" section ==
The section "missing link" (in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transitional_fossil&oldid=992508500#Missing_links as-of-writing current revision] does not make sense to me. The sources do support the claim that modern use of the term can be emphasized unduly, or lead to lopsided understanding of human evolution; they does not support a characterization of transitional fossils being a "misconception", or the implication that people looking for transitional fossils were operating under false premises (in fact, just the opposite -- the section details numerous discoveries, like the [[Java Man]], which identified the missing links which had been unknown at the time). I am going to copyedit the section. '''[[User:JPxG|jp]]'''×'''[[User talk:JPxG|g]]''' 01:56, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
