Then where are the half-ape half-humans?

That's like asking, "where are the half-cats half-tigers?" The question is nonsensical.

Tigers are still part of the cat family, and humans are still part of the ape family (just as we're also still part of the primate group, and still mammals, and still vertebrates, etc.). You're mixing your classification levels.

Where are the current evolving species?

All around us -- including us.

Where are the proto-humans and super-humans?

The proto-humans are extinct (but many of their fossils have been found), the "super-humans" are in comic books.

A few million years is NOT window enough for vast, out and out interspecies evolution across the globe.

...and your evidence for this assertion is...?

Sorry, it's bunk.

Sorry, you're obviously quite unfamiliar with the field, and with the vast amounts of evidence for it.

And before anyone presumes, this is not coming from a "fundamentalist."

That's not the noun I had in mind...

Look at the numerous "missing links" - most discredited, the rest tenuous at best.

Say what? You may not be a "fundamentalist", but you've clearly been reading their pamphlets. Your statement is quite simply untrue.
