This paper evaluates the evidence for the evolution of animal food intake systems. The simplest system is endocytosis and the next complex system is swallowing food whole. Lastly is the most complex system that involved chewing food to break it up into smaller, more easily swallowed, pieces. No fossil or other evidence of this critical evolutionary progression claim has been documented in the relevant literature. Nor have plausible just-so stories have been presented to outline probable evolutionary steps. The most reasonable scenario, given the extant evidence, is ex-nihilo (creation from nothing) creation.
