Thanks. Ciao

Answer 1

The "missing link" is a fossil, or skeleton or evidence of a species that links human beings to primates.

Evolutionists figure it's only a matter of time before its found. Anti-evolutionists don't think it will ever be found because it doesn't exist.

Answer 2

For some, it means the ancestor that humans share with monkeys. This ancestor has been found, so it is not, missing. For others, it is the ancestors that are in between that common ancestor and modern humans. These have also been found, so are not missing.

The last usage of the term is a species that would be halfway between humans and monkeys. this hasn't been found. But the evolutionary theory doesn't say that this should exist (see above ancestors). So it is a false argument used by religions to try and discredit evolution.

And an FYI, the above answers are from ignorant people.

Answer 3

It is an expression used in palaeoanthropology (the study of the origins of humans) which describes the gap in the fossil record between ancestral and modern humans - about three million years the gap in fossil evidence was, the last time I read anything about it.

Answer 4

I work with the missing link. Its an ape like human that fills in the area of evolution that science never been able to find fossils of.

Answer 5

That's all these people who believe in evolution, trying to justify their belief by looking for the skeletal remains of a half man half ape, "missing link". There is no such creature. The fact is there is more evidence in favor of creation.
