Abstract

The fossil and other evidence for the evolution of amphibians from non-amphibians is reviewed, concluding that the first known amphibians were very similar to modern amphibians. All of the major groups of amphibians are evaluated, including frogs (Anura), salamanders (Caudata), and caecilians (Gymnophiona). As far as can be determined from the earliest fossil evidence, frogs, salamanders, and caecilians are morphologically nearly identical to modern frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. The implications of this finding for the creation model then are discussed.
