These organisms common ancestors with currently living organisms stretch back tens or even hundreds of millions of years. The tuatara split off from other animals over 150 million years ago! Sometimes these organisms are referred to as \"living fossils\" because they often look very similar to fossil forms of them that we find, but this is actually somewhat innacurate for a few different reasons (see this episode of Eons: • 'Living Fossils' ... ) Thank You For Watching! - Dr. Lawrence Turtleman\n
