Essay: The transitional animal the flying pig?

Please notice the large wing span which evolved over time in order to keep the flying pig aloft. Evolutionary scientists are not exactly sure what flying pig looked like and the above picture is believed to be a close facsimile.

Concerning pictures of the supposed ancestors of man featured in science journals and the news media Boyce Rensberger wrote in the journal Science:

“

Unfortunately, the vast majority of artist's conceptions are based more on imagination than on evidence. But a handful of expert natural-history artists begin with the fossil bones of a hominid and work from there…. Much of the reconstruction, however, is guesswork. Bones say nothing about the fleshy parts of the nose, lips, or ears. Artists must create something between an ape and a human being; the older the specimen is said to be, the more apelike they make it.... Hairiness is a matter of pure conjecture.
