It's being called the "missing link" because of all the intelligent design crap the the religious folks are diggin on. If you'll remember, a couple years ago there was a big fuss and a trial involving intelligent design vs. evolution which led to a lot of terminology coming out of the media.....ie....miss ing link and irreducible complexity. Anyways....those on the side of intelligent design argued that bacterial flagellum were of irreducible complexity, or in other words something so complex could not have evolved from nothing and it had to have been created by an "intelligent designer". BS. The other side countered with a similar recently discovered fossil that showed a transitional stage of evolution which the intelligent design folks had said couldn't be found and didn't exist. Interesting stuff.

And as far as this "private collection" thing you're freaking out about, maybe you should do some research as to how archaeology/paleontology operate and you will be extremely hard pressed to see any conspiracy theory here.

....and seriously....what the fuck does tesla have to do with this?
