This statement is really creepy. It assumes a lot of theoretical stuff as "fact."
The phrase
"it comes from a time when the creatures which were to become modern humans..."
should read
"it comes from a time when the creatures which some believe were to become modern humans...""

The statement should actually read: "We do not have the slightest idea regarding the origin of this piece of bone and where it may have came from. However, we feel confident that it must be the missing link we've heard so much about".

Not quite, most paleontologists agree that that is what happened. An awful lot of people, I would say a very large majority, besides of course creationists, who believe that since their bible says one thing that it absolutely has to be true, and I have yet to see the bible that says that evolution is not true.
As a matter of fact, I have seen most church councils vote in the fact that evolution does not go against christian beliefs. So how come the curch leaders have been able to come to this conclusion, yet most fundamentalists haven't figured it out yet?
Anyway, we will find out in the near future where this skull fits into the great scheme of things, namely the family tree of the species Homo Sapiens, and them be us.
