Scientists have identified the oldest living species on Earth is a deep sea organism that hasn't evolved in more than two billion years. And, it may prove Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
Simandoa conserfariam, [1] also known as the Simandoa cave roach, [2] is a species of ovoviviparous, blaberid African cockroach that is considered extinct-in-the-wild (EW) due to human encroachment, industrial damage and pollution in their native range caused by bauxite and iron ore mining.
The oldest true beetle would have features that include 11-segmented antennae, regular longitudinal ribbing on the elytra, and having genitalia that are internal. [29] The earliest beetle-like species had pointed, leather like forewings with cells and pits. Hemiptera, or true bugs had appeared in the form of Arctiniscytina and Paraknightia.
