I think Evolution is...likely. But I have one confusion:
Say we evolved from Apes. Apes are still around, so surely whatever was between us and Apes (so to speak) would've been stronger and better equipped than an Ape, yet they are not around. Reasons?
This may sound silly in a modern world, but as an example of a possible scenario; it could be something as simple as "the missing link" having a half-length tail. Not having a tail, we don't attempt to use it to climb trees to find resources, we stay on the ground and forage. The missing link meanwhile tries to use it's tail like apes to swing from tree, but half length tale can't support them, they get injure falling from a tree, can't fight for or attract a mate and the species dies out, especially if the community based species of apes rejects it as an outcast, and the newly formed human communites reject it.
Could be a problem with the teeth they have, preventing them from being able to eat a sensible diet, etc. There are several half points of evolution that may not be as beneficial as as either the full change or no change.
As for why we haven't found the missing link, it took until 1824 for us to uncover Dinosaur relics. Just because we haven't found it yet, doesn't mean we won't find it (assuming the relic is on land, with ice age and migration paths, we might not find it until we delve under massive bodies of water for relics.
