Except that they never produce the empirical date which they claim supports the theory. They just provide more evidence that the theory hasn't been discredited. Read the information provided by Quark. When they actually produce the missing link, then I'll accept their theory.

[Thatcherite]

The essay provided by Quark contains links to a veritable avalanche of data that supports the theory, and suggestions for numerous potential observations that would falsify the theory but that never happen. Here's a hint though, you have to be prepared to read them.

What would convince you as filling the missing link? Did you examine the pre-historic hominid skull sequence in the article? Where in that sequence do you think the unbridgeable gap lies? Which of those skulls do you think are human, and which do you think are non-human ape? Did you read and understand the ERV evidence?

That's easy. This is a transitional, what some call a missing link. Note its position in the chart which follows (hint--in the upper center). This specimen is about midway between very ape-like critters and modern humans (but its not missing):

---

Fossil: KNM-ER 3733

Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)

Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)

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)

Since this is what you require, please define this 'missing link' in detail sufficient to potentially classify any future discovery as being 'your' missing link. Please be as detailed in your description as possible.
