In the case of evolution, the lack of a fossil record of transitional forms is actual evidence that transitional forms did not and do not exist.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but here is one of the "transitional fossils" (Homo habilis). It appears that they do not exist only in your mind. Note, this information is from the Smithsonian Institution, not exactly a fly-by-night outfit!

What is the specific focus of your work on the Turkana Basin Research Initiative?

There are several research questions that we really want to approach. One of them is relating to the sudden emergence of Homo erectus, or our genus Homo, around about two million years ago. Where does it suddenly appear from? Does that tie into Homo habilis? Then the other question is,"What is Homo habilis?" because there's still a lot of disagreement or controversy surrounding Homo habilis."

Our early ancestors glammed-up for a get-together. Humans worldwide began wearing jewelery at the same time as groups started meeting up, say US researchers. The finding counters the idea that ’modern’ behaviour swept the globe when modern humans migrated out of Africa.
