Up until 1938, paleontologists accepted the idea that coelacanths (an ancient fish) went extinct at the time that they last appear in the fossil record, about 80 million years ago. But in 1938, a live coelacanth was discovered off the coast of South Africa. What goal of science does this discovery represent?

Building knowledge and understanding of the natural world

Developing new applications and technology

Explaining the supernatural world

Seeking absolute truths
