Ironically, one of the things that WOULD disprove evolution is if a dog gave birth to a cat, as per one of the old creationist canards.
The discovery of the crocaduck would also do the job.
No, it wouldn't.
It may indicate how our understanding of how evolution may happen at the genetic level is wrong. It says nothing about whether evolution itself happened or not.
Evolution is something that is quite hard to disprove. The reason for embracing evolution is not that it is not been disproven, as theists might duplicitiously try to justify creationism. It is there are strong evidence it did happen. It is much closer to being proven than merely being a undisprovable notion.
