Take a look at just the very beginning of this video:
Notice how the dots* are connected by blue lines?
In your opinion, those blue lines pass over and cover up how many missing links?
* chimpanzees -- bonobos -- humans -- gorillas -- orangutans
How finely grained is your species concept? And how far do you want to go back?
Because that's what's gong to determine how many intermediate species there are in any sequence.
Suppose that tomorrow, seven different teams publish findings that they've discovered new common ancestor intermediate species between all those sets of those great apes referenced in the Dawkins video. Would that strengthen the case for evolution by natural selection, or would it now just add an entire new set of intermediates between those species?
