Biologists cannot tell us what a species or phylum is

Gamalia, this is a great quote, and we need to pay attention here. I don't see anything here that would be trying to make the point --flux of definition. But he is saying that there were more phylum in the beginning...period. Would evolution predict fully formed "modern animals" ...
