Imagine you are a paleontologist trying to find the “missing link” between different species. In three to five sentences, create a fictional narrative about your discoveries, describing: 1) what two species, mythical or real, you are studying, 2) what evidence you have linking these species, and 3) what evidence you have to define different correlations and causations that support your hypothesis.(4 points)

Answer 1

As a paleontologist, I am studying the connection between mermaids and dolphins. My evidence linking these species includes fossilized remains of a creature with both aquatic mammal and humanoid characteristics, hinting at a possible evolutionary link. Additionally, I have discovered ancient cave paintings depicting interactions between mermaids and dolphins, suggesting a symbiotic relationship between the two species. Through my research, I have found correlations in their skeletal structures, suggesting a common ancestor and providing further evidence for my hypothesis of a shared evolutionary pathway.
