Abstract
Given the fact of evolution – no longer a ‘theory’ as our textbooks
still call it – we as humans are naturally curious about our
origins. While Darwin had broadly indicated the apes, the line of
descent need not have been direct – the fossil record must speak.
But evolution has a way of erasing its own tracks – a transient
intermediate stage may leave little evidence behind. It requires
extraordinary circumstances to create fossils, and extraordinary
efforts to unearth them.
