The term 'missing link' is a misleading, idealistic relic of 19th century thinking. The idea was that there would be one unmistakable fossil transition between, say, humans and apes. This notion is very simplistic, as we have learned. There are many transitions, but no one 'smoking bullet'. What we do have is a chain of transitions leading back many millions of years to ancestors that have many of the traits of both modern humans and modern apes. The recent find called 'Lucy's child' is a good example. It has small but human like traits below the hips, but a more apelike upper torso and head. This fits the model of human evolution, that first our ancestors stood upright and walked on two legs. The larger brain size came later.

There is not and never will be ONE missing link. Basically, every previously unidentified fossil that is found is a missing link.

There are missing links in our knowledge of every scientific area - astronomy, chemistry, cancer research, evolutionary biology, subatomic particles, etc., etc. Otherwise research would no longer be necessary in those fields.
