I suggest you read some modern texts on evolution.  They are
scrambling because the fossil evidence predicted by Darwin ain't
there.  Natural selection is completely without predictive power -- it
cannot be disproved -- so it is not science.

What do you make of this:

From "Journey to the Ants" by Wilson and Hoelldobler:

BEGIN QUOTE

"Wilson put the fossils under the microscope and began to sketch and
measure them from all sides.  After several hours he picked up the
telephone and called William L. Brown at Cornell University.  Brown was a
fellow specialist in ant classification who had for years shared his dream
of finding a Mesozoic ant and thereby, perhaps, to learn the identity of
the missing link to the ancestral wasps.  Both men had guessed from
comparisons to living species what traits the ancestral form might, or, if
evolutionary theory is correct, SHOULD possess.  Wilson reported that the
ants were indeed as primitive as expected.  They had a mosaic of
anatomical features found variously in modern ants or in wasps as well as
some that were intermediate between the two groups.  The diagnosis of the
Ur-ant was astounding: short jaws with only two teeth, like those of
wasps; what appears to be the blisterlike cover of a metapleural gland the
scretory organ (located at the thorax, or mid-part of the body) that
defines modern ants but is unknown in wasps; the first segment of the
antennae elongated to give them the elbowed look characterizing ants, yet
here, in the Mesozoic fossils, only to a degree intermediate between
modern ants and wasps; the remaining, outer part of the antennae long and
flexible, as in wasps; the thorax with a distinct scutum and scutellum
(two plates forming the middle part of the body); also a trait of wasps;
and an antlike waist; yet one that is simple in form, as though it had
only recently evolved.
...
We gave them the formal name Sphecomyrma Freyi.  The generic name
Sphecomyrma means "wasp ant" and Freyi honors the couple who found
[them]."
