"Because that is where this supposed "missing link" was found."
Are you saying that Ethiopians are somehow closer to this *missing link* than other humans?
Nope. My contention is that the physical makeup of humankind has been generally consistent from the day the first man was created. Geographically speaking it is fairly obvious that, since the find was in Ethiopia, it is closer to the people who live there than I am. It might, however, be the skull of the original Gilligan they found; evidence of a three-hour tour gone awry.
