These pictures are from the programme "The Link" by Atlantic Productions. -------------------------------------------- 47 MILLION-YEAR-OLD FOSSIL TOUTED AS 'MISSING LINK' Scientists believe they have found the "missing link," an ancient primate fossil some 47 million years old which is thought to the common ancestor to all later monkeys, apes and humans. The nearly perfect skeleton, classified as Darwinius masillae, was found in Germany. It's a she, about the size of a small cat, with four legs and a long tail and lived for about 9 or 10 months. The creature, which scientists nicknamed Ida after lead researcher Jorn Hurum's 6-year-old daughter, is not a direct ancestor of monkeys and humans, but it provides a good indication of what such an ancestor may have looked like, researchers said. • http://www.nypost.com/seven/05192009/news/worldnews/47_million_year_old_fossil_touted_as_mis_170030.htm -------------------------------------------- Is fossil Ida a missing link in evolution? This 47m-year-old skeleton is one of the most significant primate fossil discoveries, hailed by some as 'the missing link' and by others, such as David Attenborough, as proof of evolution.
