I understand that the fossils were discovered essentially backwards, in that as they discovered more fossils over the centuries they found more and more older fossils.
Can someone explain this necessary assumption problem to me? I got the question wrong the first time and during blind review (I answered B, then E). The answer doesn't seem to be A or C, so it must be D. But why?
Can someone help with analyzing the stimulus?
