Abstract

Given the fact of evolution – no longer a ‘theory’ as our textbooks still call it – we as humans are naturally curious about our origins. While Darwin had broadly indicated the apes, the line of descent need not have been direct – the fossil record must speak. But evolution has a way of erasing its own tracks – a transient intermediate stage may leave little evidence behind. It requires extraordinary circumstances to create fossils, and extraordinary efforts to unearth them.
