I know exactly what you mean. 100% crystal clear.
You asked for physical evidence.
Once I realized you had a radically strict criteria for what types of evidence could be considered "actual evidence" far and beyond what the most serious scholars and historians would apply, I did say that.

Right here I said we were done and I had nothing more I could give you.
I gave you the evidence I claimed to have.
You want evidence I never claimed to have, but which you mistakenly think I did.
Are you sure?
Earlier you told me we know Australopithecus existed because we found their bones.
I believe some scientist may have found a bone, but why do you accept its as old as they say it is, why do you accept it belonged to a distinct species called Australopithecus? Where's the physical evidence of that?
In between the Australopithecus and the homo sapien there are quite a few missing links that need stories to fill them in.
Maybe they migrated this way in this period? Maybe the water was lower and there was an ice bridge here? Maybe this was a distinct species and not a direct ancestor?
These are all stories aren't they, opinions of archaeologists and paleontologists and biologists?
Why do you consider finding a weird looking bone evidence of Australopithecus if you don't follow the subjective accounts of evolutionary scientists and archaeologists when they're dating these bones and sequencing genetic material and so forth?
