of Northern China is one of the oldest fossil spider specimens found
to date. Another noteworthy characteristic of this fossil is that, as
can be seen in the picture, it is perfectly preserved. Paul Selden, a
paleontologist from the University of Kansas, says, "The level of
detail preserved in the fossils is amazing." (Archeology Daily News)
As shown in the picture, this spider that lived 165 million years ago
possessed all the features of those living today. Having remained
unchanged for millions of years, spiders represent a huge dead-end for
the theory of evolution. Spiders always appear with the same
characteristics in the fossil record, and are one of the proofs that
living things never evolved. The spider in the picture below is
165million years old, and there is no difference between it and
present-day spiders.
A 165-million-year-old spider
A spider living today is identical to a fossil spider that lived 165
million years ago, and has never changed at all; in other words, it
never evolved.
