Has anyone seen in the news recently about the newly discovered marine species in Antarctica? Great news obviously, but I am horrified by the inaccurate data that every single media outlet in the world has repeated.
They report the species dubbed the "Jurassic Shrimp", being a species of crustacean thought extinct for 50 million years, and is now a living fossil. I'm trying to clear this up, but it's me against the world here: it is not the same species. It is a modern species, no fossil known records it. It is of the same group, previously thought extinct, but evolution has quite clearly occurred. This is a different species from the extinct ones!
This is going to be the coelacanth controversy all over again...
