Missing until recently fossils clearly.....
How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged? Missing until recently fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans. Anyone can analyze this sentence for me? Thanks a lot for that. :)

Answer

I'd rewrite the first as:

"How was the gap bridged between a walking mammal and a swimming whale?"

The 2nd is a bit awkward and could be rewritten as:

"Intermediate, or transitional, fossils between land mammals and cetaceans have been missing until recently."

Does that help?  When you say 'analyse', what are you really asking?
