please explain how an underground mammal evolved to live in trees.adaptation is not evolution, evolution means you are not the same species, while adaptation can be as minor as a change in size, still the same, just look different.
evolution fails at the TK boundary, utterly.
after that event the only thing left were a few small, underground mammals and some sea life.
even over million of years you are not going to go from rodent to crocodile.
case in point; we share dna with bananas
Evolution just means to change. Adaptation means to change to fit certain conditions. The scientific meaning in the biological context is evolution is cumulative adaptation of populations of organisms.
Please explain why you think evolution fails at the TK Boundary.
Crocodiles survived the TK extinction event. The rodent posited to be the ancestral mammal came from a common ancestor with the crocodile long before there was either crocodiles or mammals of any kind.
there's no reasonable explanation
climate change led to the extinction of animals or the minor adaptation, adaption and evolution are not different words with the same meaning.
ex; a pig has fat back legs and small(ish) teeth, it lives in a pen and has no fear of predators.
a boar back has large front legs and thinner back legs, it lives in the wild and predators fear it.
they are both pigs and can breed b/c they are both pigs, one is just adapted to living in the wild
