Your quote mining from the article, suggesting that the lack of fossils in the late 1850s is a problem for evolution today, is a little out of date.

Here is a quiz for you. What major hominid fossils were known, say in 1859, when Darwin's work was published?

Can you give me an even approximate estimate?

No. It suggests that "Darwin's theory of evolution" as a grand continuum of micro changes over vast time scales is false.

err...the giant dung eating monkey man of up state New York and his buddies?

4224.75 is the exact number.
