The Ichthyosaurus is weird in that it was at first a reptile but went back into the waters and became a fish.
Good point - a kind of reverse evolution of what everything seemed to be doing. Things starting off on land and then evolving into sea life.

A missing link between human and primate could be proof that the apes mutated from humans and that is how they came into being. By reversed evolution.

"you can make a monkey out of a man, but you cannot make a man out of a monkey" my Mama said.

Evolution often follows the easyest path, like water does. So becoming less intelligent would be easy compared to getting smarter. Our present human population could be the last of the troop to go Ape. And that might take as long as we think.
