Where are the bones of australo-pithecus versions of monkeys?
Do we have a trail of monkeys that goes all the way back to a fish?
I bet you can find chimp bones from a million years ago.
This does not even make sense.
Do we have a trail of monkeys that goes all the way back to a fish?
The Transitional Vertebrate Fossils FAQ, which allows you to see what the data points and the gaps are for any transition among vertebrates actually presumed to have occurred. It won't work for A-pithecus to monkeys, of course.
Here's Ichneumon's ready-made fish-to-elephant version. Let me copy forward just the conclusion.
Also note that the changes between any two sequential transitionals are small enough that most creationists would write them off as only "microevolution" -- and yet those 50-or-so "microevolutionary" steps turn a fish into an elephant, which even the most stubborn creationist would have to concede is "macroevolution".I bet you can find chimp bones from a million years ago.
Ping me when you find one in the Precambrian.
Again, there is no way to evaluate a position an organism occupies in its evolutionary path.

No. We do not need uninterrupted lines of descent for every organism to know evolution is active.

Forest dwelling mobile organisms are not preserved well.
