The search for a direct connection between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom has taken 200 years - but it was presented to the world today at a special news conference in New York.

The discovery of the 95%-complete 'lemur monkey' - dubbed Ida - is described by experts as the "eighth wonder of the world".

They say its impact on the world of palaeontology will be "somewhat like an asteroid falling down to Earth".

Apparently someone found another Monkey and the media is just SOOO ready to accept any blithering thing that comes from "consensus science".

What about an objective journalist that simply states the OBVIOUS.
If it looks like a monkey.. has a tail like a monkey... TYPICALLY.. just typically.. it just MIGHT be a MONKEY???

Beam me up Scotty.

Remember the Jesus Project? It was supposed to change the way everyone view Christianity. Fell flat on it's face as far as changing opinions are concerned. I suspect this wil go the same way.

This isn't the first discovery of "the" missing link. Pretty soon, others will research this and say, "Yeah, there are some similarities, but there's also a similarity in that structure in this other species that is decidedly not pre-human, blahbity blah blah blah." I thought since evolution was sewn up as fact we didn't really need this to confirm Darwin. Was I wrong? Did they go back and start treating evolution as a theoretical explanation of humans? Hmm.
