Your interpretation of these skulls indicates a patter of "evolution" from ape to man. That is an assumption evolutions have imposed. I could just as easily assume, with equal merit, that those skulls are simply a mix of simian and human skulls and none of them are a "link" to something else.

I find it interesting you included Homo sapiens neanderthalensis in this list because until relatively recently, scientists didn't want to admit that Homo sapiens neanderthalensis was acutally human at all.

Skull wars: new ‘Homo erectus’ skull in Ethiopia?

Is there really evidence that man descended from the apes?

After all, as one person opined in Discover magazine, 11(8):58, 1990, "Fossils are fickle. Bones will sing any song you want to hear."

That was not my interpretation. Look at the caption; the photograph is clearly attributed to the Smithsonian Institution. You are not just arguing with me...

Then you should be able to point to two adjacent skulls: one ape, one human - Between them would be the "missing link"

If you can't find such a postioning then there is no obvious ape-human gap, just a continium.
