What was lost tens of millions of years ago is now found.

A fossil animal locked in Lebanese limestone has been shown to be an extremely precious discovery - a snake with two legs.

Scientists have only a handful of specimens that illustrate the evolutionary narrative that goes from ancient lizard to limbless modern serpent.

Researchers at the European Light Source (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, used intense X-rays to confirm that a creature imprinted on a rock, and with one visible leg, had another appendage buried just under the surface of the slab.

"We were sure he had two legs but it was great to see it, and we hope to find other characteristics that we couldn't see on the other limb," said Alexandra Houssaye from the National Museum of Natural History, Paris.

Science says all life started in Africa then are Africans the missing link? They also claim all races started there and migrated and evolved into what we are today! That my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great from way back then was Black so I should be Black!!!! From Europe.

Science tells me their is nothing ... spiritual?

What a hoot. Oh, and my Christian side doesn't run by guilt, on fear, or insanity... because I don't follow or believe like all those others.

Gimme a lie detector test... there is a God... or spirit... stuff happens. LOL

I'd have to have a look at your snake fossil for myself.

1. Other religious nutters will soon set Todell straight

This proves that the Serpent in the Garden of Eden had legs, unlike the snakes of today and were cursed by Gawd to slither on their bellies until the end of the world because they talked Adam and Eve into eating that apple!

Know thy nutters, and trust me, this one's coming fast.
