All species are transitional

At some point in time there were probably 100's or 1,000's of species that were all cousins and all part way along the path from dinosaur to bird.

So what is the current supra transitional sequence between all of them at the moment then? According to what is known?

Hypothetically,how would the discovery of a H.Sapien in a much earlier period, say in Australopithecus afarensis period between 3 and 4 million years ago, how would that impact our current evolution paradigm. This is not a creationist trick question. I'm honestly just curious?thank you

the time frame is still short evolutionary speaking

the current one or the hypothesis?

actually I was quoting JustinC,I wondered what he meant

I'm in no position to make any affirmation, but I still wondered, since it seems the term "transitionals" is arbitrary and besides, all fossils from the tchadensis to the habilis were mainly found in Eastern Africa, wouldn't the discovery of a more modern homo sapien in a much earlier period just indicate that, perhaps, the species we simply other species now extinct? I mean they still don't really know if the tchadensis was actually on our side or the chip's for example.
