Archaeoraptor, Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man, Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal, Swanscombe, Australiopithecus, Lucy, and Ida. They all have something in common. Each has been hailed by the scientific community as the Missing Link—“a hypothetical form of animal assumed to have constituted a connecting link between the anthropoid apes and humans.” They also have something else in common. Over time, they all have been proven to be embarrassing scientific blunders or outright frauds. That’s right. The "Missing Link" that scientists want so desperately to find has never been found. |
