  The Missing Link:
Hence the attractiveness for believers in evolution of the idea of the 'missing link', a single anthropoid bridge between the lower and upper forms, human and ape.
The living evidence of the lost world and its 'missing link' was lost, at least until another expedition could be mounted.
The canines may have retrogressed, which would make Piltdown's claim to be the missing link really no more credible than Neanderthal Man. Dawson's band returned to the gravel pits, and soon produced a large canine tooth from the appropriate adjacent piece of earth.

 Transitional fossil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sequence of diagrams shows how an apparent "missing link" or gap between species in the fossil record may become filled as more fossil discoveries are made.
When Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species was first published, the fossil record was poorly known, and the claim that there was a lack of transitional fossils was perfectly reasonable; indeed, Darwin stressed in his work that this lack was the most formidable obstacle to his theory.
The term probably arose in the 19th century where the awaited discovery of a 'missing link' between humans and 'lower' animals was considered to be the final proof of evolution.

 Reciprocal Links : The Glue behind the Web
The process of exchanging reciprocal links is essentially a simple one, but there are various approaches that can be taken in searching out and requesting links, as well as pitfalls that must be avoided.
Few Webmasters have the time or patience to constantly monitor the sites that link back to them, so you are trusting the other site to maintain the link on their site, and not bury it under other information or delete it during a site upgrade.
Complementary links are exactly that: links designed to maximise the value of your own site by providing more detailed, or better information than you could hope to on your own site.

 The Search for the Missing Link
However, if the style of a page's links is too close to that of the text on the rest of the page, it can be difficult for users to see the links at all.
While this can be helpful for users looking for hard to find links on a page, it still requires they move their cursor over the link before it is revealed.
The links within a paragraph which might be subtle and unobtrusive, can be revealed by moving the cursor over the entire paragraph.

 Missing Link
What this metaphor implies is that chain links representing current species are connected together by one or more links representing transitional fossils from extinct life forms to form one or more unbroken chains that only need one transitional fossil link to complete the chain.
After it became the consensus of the world's greatest authorities that it was the genuine link in the evolution of man, it was found to be a hoax.
He was portrayed to the world as a semi-erect, brutish subhuman creature that was supposed to be the "missing link" in the evolutionary chain to show man evolved from earlier ancestors.

 Stanley Kurtz on Cloning on National Review Online
omething is missing from Human Cloning and Human Dignity, the report of the President's Council on Bioethics: recognition of the harm reproductive cloning would do to the structure of the American family.
And the commission probably fears that linking an attack on cloning with a defense of the traditional family will be dismissed as a covertly religious argument.
What's missing is a disciplined attempt to foresee the effects that cloning can be expected to have on both the rate of single parenthood, and the prevalence of marriage.

 Guardian Unlimited | Science | Discovered: the missing link that solves a mystery of evolution
Scientists have made one of the most important fossil finds in history: a missing link between fish and land animals, showing how creatures first walked out of the water and on to dry land more than 375m years ago.
As such, it will be a blow to proponents of intelligent design, who claim that the many gaps in the fossil record show evidence of some higher power.
Tiktaalik - the name means "a large, shallow-water fish" in the Inuit language Inuktikuk - shows that the evolution of animals from living in water to living on land happened gradually, with fish first living in shallow water.

 The Cryptid Zoo: Missing Link   (Site not responding. Last check: )
"Missing link" is a term used for the one or more species of ape-men presumed to exist somewhere in the fossil record in order to complete the evolutionary chain between the more intelligent, bipedal apes such as Gigantopithecus and the earliest primitive species of humans.
For many years, researchers have suggested that Bigfoot or hairy humanoids in general may represent one or more surviving "missing link" species.
The fossil record as a whole is rather spotty, so most scientists don't think that the missing "missing link" fossils present any real problem or challenge to the theory that humans evolved from apes.

The partial skeleton of this 13-million-year-old "missing link" was found by palaeontologists working at a dig site near Barcelona in Spain.
The new ape's ribcage, lower spine and wrist display signs of specialised climbing abilities that link it with modern great apes, say the researchers.
The overall orthograde - or upright - body design of this animal and modern-day great apes is thought to be an adaptation to vertical climbing and suspending the body from branches.
