I have a great concept of science, I also know that the base of science is with a hypothesis. That hypothesis is on an assumption of a "what if". Now, assuming you declare that this fossil has the origins of all life, you need to prove your hypothesis. Thus, theories are created.

Not wishful thinking, as some, before anyone can believe mankind evolved from any other creature, there has to be evidence of that, not creatures evolving to adapt to thier surroundings. Where is the proof of man evolving?

You left out a few steps. First there is the hypothesis and then there must be observation of a material fact, evidence and empirical evidence for the fact and a explanation of the fact that constitutes theory. Theories are composed of facts and explanations of facts not a accepted hypothesis of what if.
