I watched the part of the video with Wise talking about the completeness of the fossil record. Sure enough, he repeats the same lie you posted from his AIG article. Wise claims a 1968 study shows 70% of extant European mammals are found in the European fossil record. Problem is the book ( B. Kurtén, Pleistocene Mammals of Europe ) doesn’t say that. It says most extant European mammals have their ancestral forms in the European fossil record i.e the extant species mostly evolved in Europe.
Wise slips these little lies into his presentation while smiling and waving his hands knowing his lay audience will swallow them in big gulps without chewing.
