About this episode
One question we are often asked is why more human fossils are not found in older rocks. In order to become a fossil, a creature must be buried rapidly in sediment so that it does not decay. Aquatic animals would be much more likely to produce fossils in say, a worldwide flood than land animals; and indeed geologists universally use small marine creatures as their "index fossils."
