Apparently the missing link has been discovered, the link that connect the ancestors of apes and humans.
Darwinius masillae, the 47 million years old fossil, has been studied in secret for 2 years and it's put at the beginning of human evolution. Although today the term "missing link" is more media than science, we should expect to see either Discovery Channel or National Geographic specials to digest this information, and also expect some impact on the eternal debate, Evolution or Creation? I hope that the fighting between groups of different ideologies does not get worse.
Amid the celebration of the bicentenary of Darwin's birth and waiting to define it either as a scientific breakthrough or just as a media show, we'll try and continue evolving.
