Science has many transitional fossils, including dozens on dozens showing the evolution of humans. And while this new fossil is extraordinary and valuable, it is "a missing link," not "the missing link." The latter implies that we had none to begin with, and we do: we have museums full of them, depending on what you want linked to what.
I saw this news earlier, but I saved posting about it until I could get some opinions of actual evolutionary scientists, not crackpot science journalists who will sensationalize anything and then report objections on the most objective and consentient conclusions for "balance."
PZ Meyers has now posted about the find; it's far more enlightening and "balanced" than our beloved national news sources.
