Abstract

The article discusses the evolutionary interpretation of the Micrasters species, questioning whether they represent a single highly variable species or exemplify true speciation. It raises critical inquiries about the inter-fertility of different Micrasters forms, specifically whether M. Leskei, M. cortestudinarium, and M. coranguinum can interbreed, and highlights the lack of definitive answers to these questions. The study critiques the evolutionary bias of the investigators and notes that the geological context, particularly the implications of uniformitarianism versus flood geology or catastrophism, remains unexplored. The relationship of Micrasters to other Spatangoids and the broader evolution of the Echinoidae class are identified as areas warranting further investigation. Overall, the article emphasizes the complexity of species classification within Micrasters and the need for a more comprehensive approach that includes geological considerations and potential inter-species relationships.
