Oh they've found the missing link alright.. But they don't dare release that information to the public in fear that it would topple all the religious empires that rule the world right now. =D

Maybe god has the missing link...he he...

Many, many fossils were destroyed by natural processes over the millions of years since they were formed. We probably find less than 1% of the ones out there, including ones for intermediary evolutionary species.

We do know many hominid ancestors, but no matter how many we identify, there will always be some in between those. Most people don't know their immediate heritage more than a few generations back, so when you're talking about the heritage of our species, of course there are going to be some gaps. Also, finding fossil remains preserved well enough to characterize an unknown species is not an everyday event. The conditions that support fossil formation are not terribly common.

We don't even have the "missing link" between chimpanzees and Australopithecines, but we know there had to be one. Same for all the genus Homo and H. sapiens. We are definitely the "new kid on the block". We have not been around all that long...only a few hundred thousand years. That is only "yesterday". All the pre-sapiens were very few in population and we certainly have not found all the intermediary fossils. Still, we certainly appeared very suddenly in evolutionary time. Even top anthropologists cannot explain it.
