Fossil Ida: extraordinary find is 'missing link' human evolution

The 'missing link' headlines on pretty much every news item about this find are BS. The fossil record will always have holes cos only a tiny percentage of creatures manage to die in a way that eventually produces a discoverable fossil.

We don't need 'missing links' to validate Darwinian evolution. We've seen it happen in the lab, every counter-argument has been discredited and it has stood up to any and all scrutiny for 150 years.
