What was the first mammel?
In evolution there is no thin line where mammals all of sudden exist. Rather characteristics accumulate until the creature is marginally more mammal than anything else.The first mammals appeared in theLate Triassicepoch (about 210 million years ago) . Even then they were monotremes like the platypus which laid eggs and did not nurse their young, unlike mostmost modern placental mammals.
What are facts about paleontology?
Paleontology is scientists working with fossils. they dig up the fossils and research them. Fossils are making some scientists believe that evolution is true. Some fossils look very similar and it takes a trained eye to tell the difference between them. Sometimes when a paleontologist finds a fossil they can tell the approximiate size, weight and details if the creature would be alive.
What country does the megladon come from?
scientists actually believe that the megladon is alive and well. As for me, i don't know what to believe. Scientists think that it still lives in the Indian ocean, which is off the coast of India.
Why do narwhals swim?
They are marine mammals, and evolution made them that way (or God did, if you don't believe in evolution). They do not breathe underwater, so they do come up for air.
When did scientist believe chemical evolution occur?
Scientists believe that chemical evolution occurred around 3.5 billion years ago.
What scientists believe in evolution?
Virtually all of the scientists in life-science related fields, and most of the rest.
How did the platypus form get so awkward?
Well, depending on what you believe, there are probably different answers. If you believe in the theory of evolution, the platypus has to have evolved and adapted to the environment. If you believe that God created the platypus on purpose in one original form, then perhaps he did it because he has a great sense of humor. :) Personally... I don't think that the platypus form is awkward at all. It works. The animal lives, and there is purpose in its life. I believe in God and in evolution, and I think both things worked together to make a great animal, that adds wonder and beauty to our world.
When did scientists believe that chemical evolution occurred?
Scientists have believed that chemical evolution occurred about 4 billion years ago, shortly after the formation of the Earth. This process is thought to have led to the development of the first life forms on our planet.
At the beginning of the universe scientists believe that stellar evolution contained only what two elements?
Scientist believe that stellar evolution contained only hydrogen and then helium.
Do scientists believe man was created by God or that they just evolved?
Different scientists hold different beliefs. Many scientists accept the theory of evolution as a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. However, there are also scientists who believe in theistic evolution, which posits that evolution is a process guided by a higher power, such as God. Ultimately, beliefs about the origins of humans vary among scientists.
Do scientists believe that extinctions are uncommon?

toyota supra and hayden copes hair duuuuuuuude
Do evolutionists believe in global warming?
Not necessarily, as belief in evolution and belief in global warming don't really have anything to do with each other. That said, a person who believes in evolution is probably more likely to believe in global warming, as they tend to listen to what scientists say, and scientists are the biggest advocates for global warming being real.
Is evolution logical?
Evolution is as logical as you can get. Supported by concrete evidence, corroborated by scientists worldwide, and put through the scientific method time and time again... it does not deviate into a subjective opinion. Those who don't believe the theory of evolution is logical clearly do not understand evolution.
Do young scientists believe in creation or evolution?
It depends on the scientist's religious beliefs and philosophical views. It is possible to believe in Creationism (if that is what you are referring to) while still subscribing to the Theory of Evolution. Contrary to popular belief, they are not necessarily mutually exclusive; although some definitions of evolution are incompatible with creationism.
