“Thousands have been found”

You have been fed a pile of you know what. Scientific American a few years ago had its cover story of finding the very FIRST wonderful transitional fossil in China (a reptile/bird thing) but low and behold it turned out to be another fake. Do more research.

Do more research. There are thousands of transitional fossils. You need to look outside of creationist websites in real science journals, museums, etc. and they're not all part of a huge conspiracy. I can't help it if you're drawing all your info from sources driven toward apologetic propaganda. There's actual science out there, and it's not found on Answers In Genesis.

Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)

Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)

Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)

Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)

Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)

Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)
