AGE:25 million years
TERM:Oligocene
LOCATION:Dominican Republic



LIVING SPECIMENS:



OTHER INFORMATION:
Insect species that have undergone no changes for millions of years represent a major impasse for the theory of evolution. Species that always appear with the same structures in the fossil record are among the proofs that living things never underwent evolution. The winged termite in the amber pictured is 25 million years old, and is no different than its counterparts living today.
