If evolution be true then why so few bones?

anarchist Asked by anarchistforlife about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

I think its a enteresting question to ask. People assert theres been mass murders and entire races but yet after millions of years of evolution the links bones dont seem to surface. The thing I find odd is if man evovled from primate then shouldn't there...

be a lot of bones it seems the fossil record is not complete.

My questions

Why is there few bones for the human evolution?

There are ape bones but there doesnt seem to be any for the other evolutionary steps of man.

So what happened are they yet to be discovered or did time make the bones into dust?

The main reason is that fossilization is very rare. It takes a very specific set of circumstances to fossilize a creature so that it's preserved long enough for us to dig it up. We're incredibly lucky we have as many fossils as we have, really.

And there have been intermediate fossils discovered between us and our closest common ancestors with primates - just not many of them, for the reasons outlined above.

You can visit a museum and look at Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon fossils...

And the theory (this has been brought up a dozen times) is NOT that humans evolved from primates. The theory is that humans and primates evolved from a COMMON ANCESTOR.
