Imagine you are a paleontologist trying to find the “missing link” between different species. In three to five sentences, create a fictional narrative about your discoveries, describing: 1) what two species, mythical or real, you are studying, 2) what evidence you have linking these species, and 3) what evidence you have to define different correlations and causations that support your hypothesis.

As a paleontologist, I am studying the mythical species of centaurs and humans. After digging through layers of sediment and examining skeletal remains, I have discovered fascinating evidence of a potential missing link between the two species. The bones show a unique combination of characteristics from both centaurs and humans, suggesting that these were once hybrid creatures. Further analysis of the teeth and digestive system reveal a diet of both plant and animal matter, providing a possible explanation for the evolution of these traits. This evidence supports the hypothesis that centaurs and humans share a common ancestor.
