Japanese researchers find dolphin with 'remains of legs'
breitbart.com — Japanese researchers said Sunday a bottlenose dolphin captured last month has an extra set of fins that could be the remains of back legs, providing further evidence ocean-dwelling mammals once lived on land.

- mugenkeiji, on 10/12/2007, -32/+25Nitpicking: do we really need to use the verb 'believe'? It makes it sound as though we are choosing between equally valid alternatives that both require a measure of faith: to put faith in invisible man in the sky on one hand, or evolutionary processes on the other.
'Accept' sounds less dubious. It reflects the fact that evolution is supported by observation and evidence. - tpaine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+56Sorry for abusing the comment system, but I this article with pictures might be a little more useful.

- jpwhitmore, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19The title is inaccurate. It says "could be" all they have is a picture. The most likely thing is that it is a common mutation. We can make fruit flies with another set of wings or legs by exposing them to radiation. Some babies are born with more then one set of a limb. The picture shows what appears to be just another set of fins. The dolphin probably just experienced the same mutation as fruit flies and deformed infants.

Also, they evolved from wolf like creatures with hooves, interesting read:

- Azur2, on 10/12/2007, -25/+21This has absolutely nothing to do with evolution, the poor animal is just deformed.
It's no more "evidence that dolphins lived on land" than humans born with 6 fingers is evidence our ape ancestors were sixfingered.
Anwyay, there is no doubt that dolphins evolved from land creatures; it's long since settled through DNA analysis, morphological analysis, and the find of "smoking gun" intermediary fossils.
I'm marking this quadruplicate as inaccurate.- shirosamurai, on 10/12/2007, -10/+17Ok, Mr. Scientist.

- matthewmok, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6I have seen people with 6 fingers....6 toes....
This dolphin has 2 extra fins. That is all. They are nothing like "legs at at all.
Evolutionists really need to try harder than this. This is a pathetic "proof" and they should be embarrassed by this. - onwardknave, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7@shirosamurai
Azur2 is right. DNA analysis is used to trace the evolutionary similarity between genes. Where the gene similarities diverge (going forward in time), or merge (going backwards) allows scientists to trace evolutionary ancestry. The more difficult task is not determining _whether_ evolution occured along a certain path, but finding the evidence to support hypotheses. In the case of aquatic-based life forms, fossils are difficult to find in places other than dried river/lake/ocean beds. Those locations are chock full of fossils, but finding the one type which a scientist hopes to find isn't usually how the discovery process works. Serendipity tends to govern until enough data about a given region suggests that fossils from a given geological period may be present in sufficient quantity and quality to yield either genetic clues (less likely), or fossilized remains through which homology can be traced. - nazuraki, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5@shirosamurai
Aside from the fact that he is most likely completely right, I'd wager that the average digg user is quite educated. - hiredgun, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4yea, this seems to be just a genetic mutation

Don't be silly. Just as there might be a man with 6 fingers, which is caused by a mutation in the 'hand building' gene, there can be a dolphin with a mutation which causes an extra pair of fins.
If these fins are then selected for, they could become larger over millions of years.
If, for example, there was a niche similar to that of early tetrapods, for an animal which could occasionally crawl on land, this animal would be better suited to do it.
So, in essence, this is one of the most important discoveries in the "debate" over the validity of evolution. This mutation shows that animals can have major restructuring of their body plans. If you can't see that, you quite simply don't want to.
Not that we didn't know this already through genetic research and fossils. - HardSide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I have to agree with Azur, 2 years ago in Russia they found a cat with bat wings...was that evolution? No it was proven that it was mutated probably by all the radioactive crap from the Russian Energy plant that blew up oh so many years ago (the article stated it was only a few 100 km from where the plant blew up)
But anyway, if it is a mutation or a evolution is yet to be seen, but clearly throwing the word "evolution" around people lose credibility fast. - w0rd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3So you've analyzed the dolphin and have concluded that the extra fins are a deformity? Well thanks very much guys, without your educated analysis, we'd all be lost. Why don't we wait for the experts to have a look before we start claiming, "It's just like my friend Joe, he has six fingers. That proves it."
- billymachine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Keep in mind that mutations like these are the very foundation for any evolutionary growth. If enough freakshow extra-finned dolphins were to start mating with each other, who knows, they could replace the version we have now. Nonetheless, in this case I'd say that's extemely unlikely, as the fins don't seem to even do anything at all.
So, a mutation with no evolutionary benefit, but possibly a vestigial reminder of the dolphin's distant ancestors. - skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"So you've analyzed the dolphin and have concluded that the extra fins are a deformity? Well thanks very much guys, without your educated analysis, we'd all be lost. Why don't we wait for the experts to have a look before we start claiming, "It's just like my friend Joe, he has six fingers. That proves it.""
No, I think what he's saying is that this is just a single, isolated, anecdotal case where a dolphin had a deformity. If it there were a pattern of dolphins found with this same trait, then yes you might say that this particular trait was being selected. But that isn't the case here, there's no pattern of traits.
I'm not saying that to disprove the theory, I'm just saying the evidence isn't hard and concrete yet.

Until the formula for evolutionary process can be replicated in a laboratory, it's still just Darwin's pre-DNA fantasy. There is no fossil record. A couple of mutated fins on a dolphin does not a four footed land animal make. Duh.
Evolution has become a religion. Keep the KoolAid to yourselves, Japanese "scientists".
The only thing interesting off a Japanese fishing boat was the discovery of a dinosaur squid, which should not have been alive according to Evolutionary theory, about a decade ago.

Ahh first it was, "they eye is complex, how could evolution create the eye" or "There is no link between birds and dinosaurs"..These are explained then you move onto the next thing until science explains that. So now the new thing is a whale having a pelvis. That proves nothing by itself, along the path of evolution, body parts, often referred to as "vestigal" linger on despite not being used as they once were, they are intermediary and often are lost. The vestgial whale pelvis is used for reproduction. There are vestigal hind limbs as well. So is this your new thing, whale pelvises? - Kestrel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0No one has ever said that man evolved from apes.... what they said is that man evolved from OLD-WORLD APES, a precursor to both modern humans and modern apes.

It has an extra pair of fins that look like the should be there(as in not horribly mutated). - mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The point is that it's an exposed atavism. Organisms have genes from their distant ancestors which have their expression suppressed. When something goes wrong with the expression suppressor for that gene, then the old gene becomes exposed by its expression.
A sixth finger mutation is different. In this case, it's just a matter of the repetition expressor running over.
And no, I do not have a PhD in genetics, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. This gives me the qualifications to make stuff up as I go along.

On the other side of the coin, stating that "the extra set of fins COULD BE the remains of back legs" hardly gives evidence that they ARE legs. Plus, is the ocean really all that bad? If so, why aren't all the dolphins walking on land by now? heheh, had to add a little sarcasm in there since everyone else seems to be. - yournamehere, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2really, could this not just have been a mutation? sheesh, talk about getting out of hand.

If these researchers had taken a BIO100 class they might not be so excited. Or maybe they just get bored out there at sea.
