Answer 1

We have no evidence as yet but as Charles Darwin told us in 1859. He wrote, ' The number of intermediate and transitional links, between all living and extinct species, must have been inconceivably great . but assuredly, if this theory be true, such have lived upon this earth. But 'why? he asked,do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth? (and so raising even his own doubts)  maybe the fossil record will produce the proof we require in future years!, he added

          Although nothing of any note has been found in all this time, we have not given up the search.

                          Hope springs eternal from the heart.

Answer 2

proconsul

It is believed to be an ancestor by most paleontologists

Answer 3

This is not known. In the last 60 years or so, wildly differing accounts from archaeologists whose claims have been subjected to counterclaims. This is not to belittle the efforts that have been made. A telescope into prehistoric past is a difficult instrument to focus. Unusually we now find that we look even more to the future to seek greater understanding of the past. Particularly in the field of DNA recovery, analysis and also  Carbon dating.
