Tell you what IF you can IN YOUR OWN WORDS explain my argument in context without cut/paste and then prove how I am in error I will straight out admit defeat and officially withdraw this evidence as some evidence against evolution.
All right. As far as I can tell, you are arguing the following: When David Pilbeam said there were not enough fossils between eight and four million years ago to reconstruct the path of hominid evolution during that period, that means hominids did not evolve from primates.
You are wrong because eight to four million years ago is not the entire history of hominid evolution; because we also have genetic evidence to go on; and finally because even if humans did not evolve from primates (and you would become famous for proving this, my friend!), you would still have to show that we did not evolve from anything else either.
This has been explained to you already, though, and better at that.
