There is a missing link because there is an absolute discontinuity between primitive species and homo sapiens. Traditional archeologists keep trying to find a fairly upright individual who is a little more advanced than Neanderthal man but not quite as advanced as homo sapiens, but they cannot find this missing link because there is none. There was no evolutionary curve. Instead, around 350,000 years ago, there was a sudden emergence in Africa of a whole race of homo sapiens. And that is where the footprints stop. There is no preceding species to connect us. But as we all know - and what has become all too obvious to the Star Visitors - after more than three hundred millennia of having a go with these brains, and even though we've done some impressive creations of civilization, we still retain rather unfortunate tendencies toward jealousy, competitiveness, and resolving matters by grabbing a club and beating the other person over the head. In that way, we're not much better than our primitive ancestors and other predators in the Serengeti. - Richard J. Boylan PhD.
