Where are the bones of australo-pithecus versions of monkeys?

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.

Wasn't just a few weeks back that there was a thread about the oldest chimp remains? Seem as if it was about 300,000 years. Anybody else remember this?

(Did I hear a creationist in the back row say something about "no transitional fossils?")

No, but one did just say, "Where's the PICTURES of the bones?"
