As someone who pays close attention to paleontology, I'd have to say that there are a LOT of "missing links". As a matter of fact, there are few if any LINKS! While I have Neanderthal DNA that Africans don't have (and if you are Chinese, you have it too, but probably different sections of it), which might be considered a "link" of sorts, there is still no specimen you can point to and say "AHA! There is the link between Neanderthals and modern Humans!"
As a matter of fact, all Humans on Earth, except Africans, have some degree of Neanderthal DNA. I just have more than most folks. I have more than my mom, and my son has more than me. It's as if Neanderthals are trying to reconstruct themselves by putting all the available Neanderthal DNA back together again, one generation at a time. In my family at least, it looks like ALL of the Neanderthal DNA of both parents is being retained, and displacing "modern Human" DNA to do so, more in each generation.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
