Problems with the "Missing Link"

I found my source on the website of Popular Science, a magazine and online publication for all forms of science and technology. Reported by Stuart fox, who has written hundreds of articles for popular science. It is titled Hyping the Next ig Missing Link, He diusses the finding of a Darwinius masillae Fossile and how the world press reacts to it and the use of the phrase missing link. I chose this over others because in it he raises the point that all gaps in the fossile records ae missing links of sorts. There are gaps in our current fossile record and its important to see finds as missing links. However one can't get caught up in the hype because there is no one "missing link" that connects all the dots.
