It is difficult to find a better example of a "transitional species" than man himself. We are quite new in the fossil record, our teeth often don't fit the jaw, our spines often blow out, our toes are clearly doing very little (if they ever did), we are far too prone to cancer and heart failure, and a whole lot of humans are un-coordinated, while many others have barely functional brains. Obviously, as a species, we are at an awkward "in between" stage, with some individuals possessing far superior genes than others. (That is, some humans have okay spines, others may have great teeth, others have hearts that won't quit, etc.) The raw material of evolution to a sounder species exists within us. In a few million years, if we are still around, most humans will be far fitter. Provided, of course, we don't continue to subsidize the worst among us.

I see Chuck Darwin has corrupted your mind with the nonsense that some individuals are fitter than others. Back to PC school for you! Don't you know everybody is special in his or her own way, even Osama Bin Laden?
