Evolution theory mention that you don't find missing links because there essentially is perpetual slight transitions that take place. They don't want to admit that there is a wide range of examples today of these transitional creatures to observe.

That being said I would have to give it to the African pygmy. Height under 60", IQ under 60, you might think, ok, other creatures can match these figures. The nail in the coffin is the lifespan. 16-24 with sexual maturity at age 8. Comparable figures to apes, not humans. At least other creatures are bigger and live longer.
