Did they ever find the missing link in human evolution?

Missing link evolution?

• just wondering if evolution is true then why haven't millions of bones been found of the different stages of evolution..the missing link as my science teacher always called it. surely after millions of years there would be loads of bones? however scientists only provide a few links that could be of different species. i am uneducated in this matter so any info or links would be helpful to explain the missing link. just wondering after reading a question =}

• Answer:

  There are millions of animals that die every day but most of the time, their bodies are eaten or left in the open. To become a fossil, the animal must not be eaten, it must be covered by some protecting material such as mud, it must remain covered long enough that the covering material solidifies, water must seep through the material for a long enough period of time that the bone material gets washed away, minerals in the water must replace the bone and then set up as a hard solid. It is a very exceptional circumstance when all of these conditions work out perfectly resulting in a fossil. The reason we find as many fossils as we do is because of the vast time periods in which the coincidences can occur. Additional: The reason there are far more dinosaur fossils than human ancestor fossils is mainly that there were thousands of species of dinosaurs living over most of the Earth for over 160 million years. Human development was mainly on one continent (Africa) and only within the last 10 to 20 million years (depending on how far back you wish to trace our ancestry.) .
