I can't find in the article where they call it "the missing link that proves
evolution". The closest I can find is that it "gives the clearest glimpse
yet of the evolutionary moment when fish fins transformed into limbs and
species began to move onto land."
The "Evolutionary Missing Link" subject was mine. I wasn't referring
specifically to the missing link between modern man and their predecessors
but this other link between land animals and the earlier water animals which
is also one of the evolutionary gaps that people who disagree with Darwin's
theory like to point out.
