I am not an anthro nerd, so maybe PP can back me up, but as I understand it:
1) We have tons (literally) of evidence--considering how specific conditions need to be for fossilization, we have an absolute plethora.
2) This is not any more or less significant than many pieces we already have
3) There isn't a shred of evidence that contradicts evolution, and there are many shared traits along the branching pathways that support and reinforce the idea that the species diversity was all a result of a diverging/branching ancestral lineage.
