Aim of the website
The aim of this website is to answer the question; “Where are the transitional fossils?” This question is commonly asked by opponents of the theory of evolution, as if transitional fossils did not exist. In fact, there are many, as will be documented in this website.
The purpose of this website is to extract and organize information about transitional fossils from the vast scientific literature that deals with the whole gamut of evolutionary history. The result should be a readily accessible resource that will provide documentation in the form of the names, locations, geological age and, if images are available in the public domain, photographs of the fossils that record the major transformations of life through geological time.
The website is designed with the following types of user in mind:

The website is designed with the following types of user in mind:
- Educators seeking teaching materials
- People seeking a visual depiction of how fossils illustrate the evolution of life
- Those looking for data with which to assess the arguments in the continuing debate regarding evolution and creation.
