Cornelius Hunter has the story here.
Also, from Phys.org:
In a new paper, recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, evolutionary biologists from the Department of Biology & Biochemistry looked at nearly one hundred fossil groups to test the notion that it takes groups of animals many millions of years to reach their maximum diversity of form.
Contrary to popular belief, not all animal groups continued to evolve fundamentally new morphologies through time. The majority actually achieved their greatest diversity of form (disparity) relatively early in their histories.
Lead researcher from the Department of Biology & Biochemistry, Dr Matthew Wills said: “This pattern, known as ‘early high disparity’, turns the traditional V-shaped cone model of evolution on its head.
So what if those are the facts? The Darwin lobby still has pundits, lawmakers, and celebs to spread their “branching tree of life” message.
The classroom biology teachers began to smell a rat long ago:
See, for example, 20% of biology teachers in Pennsylvania are creationists
The Big Easy Bans Intelligent Design, but the Big Story is Louisiana’s Good Science Grades (Louisiana allows teaching objections to Darwinism.)
Are 72% of biology teachers hindering science literacy in the U.S.?
But lone classroom teachers have no one but the (hack! cough! retch!) complicit union to turn to as the establishment readies an assault on them to protect the status quo from what the street now really knows.

from physorg they state:
“A key question now is what prevents groups from generating fundamentally new forms later on in their evolution.”
to reiterate from Dr. Hunter’s post, Here are a few assorted notes that gives us a glimpse as to one of the main reasons why ‘kinds’ of species are constrained to a basic type of body plan throughout deep time:
To put it plainly, the finding of a severely poly-functional/polyconstrained genome by the ENCODE study, and further studies, has put the odds, of what was already astronomically impossible, to what can only be termed fantastically astronomically impossible. To illustrate the monumental brick wall any evolutionary scenario (no matter what “fitness landscape”) must face with poly-constrained poly-functionality, I will use a puzzle:
If we were to actually get a proper “beneficial mutation’ in a polyfunctional we would actually be encountering something more akin to this illustration found on page 141 of Genetic Entropy by Dr. Sanford.
Which is translated ;
THE SOWER NAMED AREPO HOLDS THE WORKING OF THE WHEELS.
This ancient puzzle, which dates back to 79 AD, reads the same four different ways, Thus, If we change (mutate) any letter we may get a new meaning for a single reading read any one way, as in Dawkins weasel program, but we will consistently destroy the other 3 readings of the message with the new mutation (save for the center).
This is what is meant when it is said a poly-functional genome is poly-constrained to any random mutations.

Will the true Darwinist stand up and defend that what they believe is based on science? Or is it just an ideological commitment. Their inability to admit even small deviations from their belief system argues it is 100% ideological and science is only invoked when it is convenient and avoided like the plague when it is inconvenient.
What’s the problem? This just sheds more light on Evolution. We still know universal comment descent is a fact and that mutations and natural selection did it. Open a high-school biology textbook and try learning something.

For Darwinists like Lifepsy, high school biology textbooks are the gospel truth!
