That missing link has never been found, because it did not happen like that. It's not a small scale because I am not talking about recent science experiments exclusively, I am talking about since the beginning of time, there has never been a species that produced a different one.
2-) A single human cell and a fish cell for example, are not the same. So if you take a cell from a fish and attempt to impregnate a human female with it, it will not work on so many different levels. The DNA of human cells is different than other living species, so no matter how long those cells are given to reproduce, whether naturally or scientifically induced, those cells will NEVER create anything other than it's own kind.

It's gradual. You don't have a donkey flop out a york terrier. You're correct. But given environmental changes...animal bodies adapt differently. Given hundred of thousands of births of a species in new environments..the ones with the most survivable characteristics are the ones that are most likely to survive and reproduce.
Have you ever seen the 13 yr. old girl that can climb walls, etc..and has beat all the women in almost every climbing even event? She's faster, more agile, has a longer reach, etc.
She moved to Africa when she was only 4...and her only real friend and influence was this pet monkey she had. Well...she learned to climb trees, jump form one limb to another, etc. But since she was so young, and her bones were still impressionable...here hands and body grew different than yours and mine.
Here arm span is longer than her height. Not extreme..but more like that of a monkey. If you look at her fingers, her joints/knuckles are oversized and her fingers look different. Here grip is unbelievably strong. She's just a regular girl..but she has amazing capabilities.
I'm not saying she partially turned into a monkey...but I'm saying our bodies, and those ov other living things, are built to adapt. The ones that do it best survive the best. And if this girls was part of a tribe..and they lived in isolation for thousands and thousands of years doing monkey like stuff..they would probably look different, and have different capabilities than you and I.
Evolution is a very, very slow process. But sometimes it does get jump starts...such as environmental changes (ice ages, etc), isolation, radiation, chemical reactions, etc.
For 13-year-old Tori Allen, the youngest of the top U.S. boulderers, the sky's the limit, because she can climb like ... well, like a monkey
