And you expect that all those transitionals were preserved? Even the soft-bodied ones? That two billion years of Earth history would have left them completely untouched? That they would all be easily accessible at the surface, and somehow unaffected by erosion and weathering? That scientists would know they were there, that they were important, and could gain access to the land? That they would even have permission to excavate the site?
Well, you are right. There
are billions of transitionals. Scientists have only managed to reconstruct some of them though.
