I'm pretty sure we possess hundreds of transitional fossils but I find that fairly suspicious (as Darwin predicted the Earth should be sprawling with them) if we literally have billions. What gives? Not doubting evolution but is there something in the process that would account for this?Here is a good list of transitional forms, though incomplete.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
