What exactly is the missing link? I mean I know it links us to ape but wear exactly down the line? Why haven’t we found it, is there any theories?

There is no such thing as a "missing link." To say that would assume that evolution occurs in a step-wise fashion, and it simply does not.
The idea of it, though, is that one day we'll find the ONE fossil that explains the whole thing. And quite frankly, it doesn't exist. The fossil record is huge and extensive, with tons of pieces to puzzle (or, more accurately, chapters to the story) that we haven't discovered yet.
But we've got a very good picture of what human evolution looks like. It's a great field to get into, a very dynamic one (because everyone argues about it).

The missing link is the profound ability to bowl,,,pre-dating lawn-darts. It is believed to be buried beneath what is now known as France and, is anticipated to be surrendered to Germany as often is the case with France.

You will have to exhume all the sedimentary rocks to find the missing links.

primitive humans walked the earth then aliens came and genetically mutated us so they could use us as slaves but then found that we were useless and left. there is no missing link, just missing aliens :)

ape forked off one way and us the other so we did not come from them. the best you can do is google your question
