I'm sure I don't know what you mean, Dave. I must admit that my expertise of evolution is limited to that of highschool textbooks and information off the internet. But I don't see anything missing.
That aside are you not annoyed the way we are taught its a dead cert though?
It is a "dead cert", that's why it's the theory of evolution. Its' the accuracy of our understanding that is in question, but that is a reality of science- ever pursuing knowledge, but never reaching the end. As our understanding of genetics increases, any minor kinks will be ironed out and more accurated predictions will be made, and the circle of science continues. What I'm opposed to is creation/id being taught in schools.

If there is still any confusion over the "common ancestor" thing, and you still wonder why if we came from apes, that there still are apes around. Well Thunderf00t made a good analogy. "Saying that if man came from apes then why are apes still around" is comparable to saying "If americans are largely of european decent, then why are there still europeans?" The answer is obvious.
