The 'missing link'. The phrase encapsulates an array of ideas: a creature somewhere between apes and ourselves; eccentric scientists exploring the back of beyond; a deep-seated desire to know where we came from. The expression often guarantees media time for any find, no matter how small Yet it's also one of the most divisive areas of human endeavour. With only a small number of human fossils, there are almost as many ideas about what they mean. You can almost guarantee sparks will fly when a new find is announced, often before the ink has dried.KeywordsElectron Spin ResonanceFission TrackStone ToolSkeletal RemainsMissing LinkThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
