Eons: The Missing Link That Wasn’t

A painting depicts scientists comparing Piltdown Man's remains to other species. Charles Dawson and Sir Arthur Smith Woodward are seen standing together.

The myth of the missing link is persistent and argues that there must be a specimen that partly resembles an ape but also partly resembles a modern human. However, the reality is that there is no missing link in the human lineage because that’s not how evolution works. Part of the "Eons" series.
