Then if you read it, and you can't answer my question, how is me reading it going to answer my question?

'Cause I read it at least 5 years before the question was asked and you could read it *after* asking the question. (Also, I'm not sure a simple integer count can be made.)

It very much would answer your question because you'd be able to see the answer.

And if I might ask: why do you feel that your question is important enough to ask?

Then that's a you problem only. Evolution is not a science, it's a process; the change of biological organisms in response to their environment. Paleontology is the science that they use to try and find things.
