You don't know if there is a missing link, but the truth is that the difference between human and ape DNA can't be explained. Either we (humans) developed that percentage over the years, or there really is some kind of "missing link". I don't know what to think.Vuldari wrote:That's because there never was such a thing. The "Missing Link" theory is Bull$***.Morkulv wrote:And yet, scientists and explorers never found a skeleton of a combi between humans and ape genes. So there is a lack of proof, and numbers don't say anything: Rabbits, rats, and even pigs also have a lot in common with humans as well, but that scientists never mention.
Evolution of mankind did NOT go:
"X ancestor (primate)" -> "Ape" -> "Human".
It was more like...;
"X ancestor (primate)" -->"X jr. A" -> "Pre-Human" __> "Cro-magnon" --> "Human"
........................................|.............................................|_>"Neanderthal" -> (DEAD)
........................................|_>"X jr. B"_
.............................................................|_>"pre-ape"_

The ape chain is much more complex than that, and there were surely more failed cousins that split off of the "A" chain before the critical Neanderthal/Cro-Magnon era, but otherwise, I think that about sums it up.
So long as people keep $%^$ing up the evolutionary theory, I will keep correcting them. There is no "missing link". We were not decended from monkeys. ...but we share the same great great great great... Grandfather, who was neither ape nor human...yet.

But I must say that your theory looks more realistic to me.
