This just acts as another example of a complete and utter lack of knowledge concerning evolution.
The "missing link's" seed didn't mingle with a human's, rather a human's evolved from this "missing link".
Most creationists would rather cloud the issue, than do the amount of work and research to verify their claims. When the church was presented with evidence of evolution, they began to bandy about the words "micro" and "macro" evolution. Macro-evolution is infinitely more difficult to prove (and the church knew this). It is the culmination of thousands of generations of micro-evolution. Micro-evolution on the other hand, has been proven to occur...within the last century. Bacteria have evolved in order to survive treatments that have been used to destroy them. Birds on the Galapogos Islands have exhibited changes to their beaks in order to compete for food. The biggest hurdle here is that since most micro-evolution happens to tissues that don't survive the fossilization process, they can't be illustrated until enough of them have become commonplace to the species. This is why there are huge gaps in the evolutionary ladder.
Now take a look at the differences between science and "faith based" science. True science (the one that put forth such heretical theories as evolution, gravity, and the sun being the center of our galaxy) will ask a question. It will then do research, testing, experimentation in order to draw a conclusion. The work is handed off to other qualified (and unbiased) individuals who do more research, testing, and experimentation in order to verify the conclusion drawn by the work. Once this is done many times over, the work is published so that people can benefit from the knowledge gained.
Faith based science (creation scientists, etc.) pick up the bible, and draw a conclusion. If these people have a scientific background, they then go do research, and change the work to reflect an already drawn conclusion. Their work is then handed off to other "scientists" (people of faith who will support, or "reinterpret" the work...meaning biased individuals), who in turn make corrections to the research in order to, again, support a conclusion that's already drawn. Once enough people agree that the questions make sense in relation to the answer, they'll publish their findings in journals, that although appearing to be legitimet, are actually nothing more than faith based propaganda, used to lure those who are so blind in their faith, and ignorant to true scientific proceedures, to their conclusions.

Geez...it happened by mutation and natural selection, not breeding with a missing link. You can't ignore science. Well YOU can.

A "missing link" refers to something that doesn't exist.
So how can something that doesn't exist mingle with anything?
