There is no one "missing link." That term was derived by the anti-evolution people since there is a small gap between each step of the evolutionary timetable. Of course there is a gap though! If you have two things that are different, you can't have their similarities overlap too. They can't be the same AND different

Anyways, therefore, the more "missing links" found between two different evolutionary periods, the more "missing links" there will need to be found! Fill one gap, and you create another gap on either side.

That being said, Daniel is the missing link.

I sure hope so! My teacher actually sent out the link to everyone in her classes but she does teach biological anthropology and that is my major too and I know so he/she should know too

...what?

Don't you mean a primate with H. sapien characteristics?

Primates have been around for 65 million of years and this is NOT the first mammal with primate features.

However, this is one of the first classified primates with sapien characteristics.
