Humans evolved from lemurs
Or at least something like them. Yet another
piece of the puzzle is found.

One per generation I presume.
Edit: did the math. Assuming 15 years per generation and 47 million years, approximately 3 million missing links.

not at all... we don't need every single specimen to get a good idea of what happened, but every specimen we do have certainly helps.

Will journalists ever stop using that stupid and misleading 'missing link' meme? Or writing confused articles about subjects they haven't bothered to properly research?

And more specimens keep popping up all that time that help close the missing gap.

bingo. your right. It would be one per a generation, as each generation changes slightly from the next. scientists has fond enough fossils to conclude that we share common ancestry with other life forms.
