In the 2 lines preceding the "drawings and sketches", what did I write?
Care to tell me?
What was the very relevant piece of information I relayed to you by the form of writing on an online forum?
Did you understand it?
Clearly not, or else you wouldn't have taken the time to write that turd I'm quoting above!
Were you perhaps expecting me to send you, via this very online forum, the actual fossils, the millions of fossils from thousands and thousands of different locations, depths and plant and animal species??
And did you expect to understand from what sort of plant or animal that ancient fossil came from?
Can you even grasp the number of different fields of knowledge and science that are required to identify one fossil?
Let go of your lying and conning sites and learn from the people who actually work in the fields of science you are trying to address.
Do you know what a fossil is?
I looked it up on the net and read about it.

Either we're both wrong, or my position, with its full awareness of the nature of that absence of fossils, is the most accurate available.

But it allows them to make educated guesses as to the shape of the head... from there, more educated guesses as to the shape of the body.
And usually they insist on showing you exactly what the fossil is and how they pieced it together to arrive at the overall body.
Look at this skull... see if you can tell which parts are actual fossil (replica) and which are extrapolations:
They can even then extrapolate a face:
Of course, we know this isn't exactly what the person looked like, but it's an approximation.
