That's crap. You know Darwin recanted on his deathbed, and everyone knows they're called missing links because they're missing.

THAT my friend is a Urban Myth. The regular Cr/IDer denizens of these threads don't even try that one anymore.

You shouldn't play so fast and loose with the truth. It pretty much eliminates you as a credible person.

What do they call them when they are found?

Well, they might call them Homo ergaster, like this fellow. Note its position in the chart which follows (hint--in the upper center):

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)

I assume you meant that to be funny.

Sorry, I should have read the thread sequentially and in order.

Hey, c'mon, no fair rigging the experiment...
