However, the author of On the Origin of Species modified his interpretation on those remains at the same time as his knowledge did, or simply according to his interests or needs. In this sense, the case of the Toxodon is very illustrative: this is interpreted as an example of a form belonging to a type identical to another living one (the capybara or carpincho), in the same area (in the Journal of Researches, of 1845), like a link among pachyderms, rodents, ungulates and whales (also in the Journal of Researches), or simply a extinct form, that coexisted with living species (in all editions of On The Origin of Species). Se ha afirmado que los restos fósiles hallados por Darwin en América del Sur fueron decisivos en la edificación de su teoría. Sin embargo, el autor de On the Origin of Species modificó su interpretación sobre esos restos en la medida que lo hacía su conocimiento, o simplemente en función de sus intereses o necesidades. En este sentido, el caso del notoungulado Toxodon es muy ilustrativo: éste es interpretado como un ejemplo de una forma perteneciente a un tipo idéntico a otra viviente (el capybara o carpincho), en una misma área (en el Journal of Researches, de 1845), como un link entre paquidermos, roedores, ungulados y cetáceos (también en el Journal of Researches), o simplemente una forma extinguida, que coexistió con especies vivientes (en todas las ediciones de On the Origin of Species).
