Default After over 100 years and still no definitive result, it must be pseudo science.

Think the title is referring to parapsychology or psychical research?

Wrong.

Because this is the most vulnerable part of Darwin’s theory, Creationists attack it relentlessly, which has forced scientists to periodically put forth a series of candidates to try to take the heat off. Unfortunately for them, in every case those “missing links” have been shown to be outright fakes and frauds. An excellent account is found in “Icons Of Evolution” by Jonathan Wells (Regnery, 2000). But scientists are not deterred by such exposure of their shenanigans. They feel justified because, they insist, not enough time has passed for them to find what they need in a grossly incomplete fossil record.

The truth is that some lengthy fossil timelines are missing, but many more are well accounted for. Those have been thoroughly examined in the past 140-plus years, to no avail. In any other occupation, a 140-year-long trek up a blind alley would indicate a wrong approach has been taken. But not to scientists. They blithely continue forward, convinced of the absolute rightness of their mission and confident their fabled missing link could be found beneath the next overturned rock. Sooner or later, they believe, one of their members will uncover it, so they all work in harmonious concert toward that common goal. Individually, though, it’s every man or woman for themselves.
Pure gold at the end:

My personal opinion, which is based on a great deal of independent research in a wide range of disciplines relating to human origins, is that ultimately Charles Darwin will be best known for his observation that humans are essentially like domesticated animals. I believe what Darwin observed with his own eyes and research is the truth, and modern scientists would see it as clearly as he did if only they had the motivation, or the courage, to seek it out. But for now they don’t, so until then we can only poke and prod at them in the hope of someday getting them to notice our complaints and address them.
Read the whole thing to see how he comes to this conclusion.

Hardly a dead end ally.
Many predicted transition species have been found.
Several lines of evidence have supported the idea, things like DNA/genes that were unknown at the time Natural Selection was being formed.

Anonymous does not respond to skeptics. You're all invisible to him/her.

The whole Darwinian suppression thing sounds suspiciously like how scientists treat psi.

Yes.

I'm not sure that answers my question, though. It is my impression that some people take the National Enquirer seriously.
