The fossil record of the phylum Arthropoda is a major problem for neo-Darwinian evolutionism. No clear fossil evidence for arthropod evolution has ever been uncovered, even though millions of arthropod fossils have been found. The record as a whole clearly shows stasis or persistence of types, not progressive evolution from one order to another. A large proportion of all living and extinct animal species are members of the phylum Arthropoda, and the critical lack of fossil evidence for macroevolution of the entire phylum of Arthropoda favors creation.
