If the styloid process in the hand bone has not been seen in any human fossil older than 1.8 million years, how did it suddenly appear, fully formed?

That’s quite a mutation. We’re asked to believe the human hand was a primitive, clumsy thing, and suddenly became dextrous almost overnight in the span of evolutionary time.

Perhaps some paleontologist here can enlighten me.

I wonder if the fact it's the MIDDLE FINGER has any symbolism attached to it.

Where is it claimed it appeared fully formed? 400,000 years is a long time with a lot of offspring. Assuming a generation of 30, a very high estimate, it’s like your grandparents with over 13,000 greats in front of grandparent.
