The scientists who have spent the past decade pouring over Ardi's fragmented skeleton believe she walked upright and that her teeth resemble modern human teeth more closely than they do those of a chimpanzee. Though they do not believe Ardi is a direct ancestor of humans or the long-sought "missing link," paleontologists say she helps show that both human beings and apes evolved from a common ancestor about 6 million years ago, that did not look much like either. Ardi, paleontologists say, was capable of grasping, something chimps need in order to climb in trees, but likely did not swing from branches the way modern chimps do.

So this fossil shows chartists of modern humans and apes, then how is this not a transitional fossil?

Yes, this fossil shows that there was an ape like creature that walked upright. Of course there were upright apes...very similar to bigfoot which is probably a prehistoric left over. So what. That doesn’t prove evolution at all. Where are those thousands or millions of fossils that show many different speicies evolving into other types? You know, like the evolutionists put into school text books in illustration. They simply do not exist. End of story. Case closed for people with some commonsense left after public school brainwashing.
