Another quick example before you go...
The evolution of the bones in the mammalian inner ear which have been shown to originate from some of the bones which make up the reptilian jaw. This can be seen in embryology, where the jaw bones develop from the first branchial arch, then two of these bones later migrate to their final position in the inner ear. This was first noted by Karl Reichert way back in 1837. The transition is also beautifully illustrated in the fossil record with the Therapsid series of transitional fossils.
I realise that this comes late to a topic that's already run its course, but what issues do you see with this example?
