Back, then back again.

RE: Back, then back again.
First I have heard as well. It's not impossible I suppose but, unlikely.

we would only evolve to live on land if it was the better environment for us. I think once we got here natural selection and our own desire to stay in the newer, more commfortable environment would at least keep enough of us on land to keep a species going.

Though two seperate subspecies is more likely too, or one simply getting killed off. But I still have not heard of any examples of creatures evolving and moving as a species onto land, and then back. My understanding of such matters is that the species would only make such a move if it were the better option, and afterwards theres almost no chance they would move back as long as land remained the better option.
