IDA the Missing Link. 47-million-year-old fossil explained

[Richardhedditch261]

The voice of a jack-ass American ignoramus definately pervades this forsaken video. And 3 and a half years for less than 800 hits says it all. It is one of the most rejected and disdained videos ever uploaded, may I suggest. Americans - the spawn of the scum of Europe, in many ways.

What evidence is there that the lemur ever produced any progeny significantly different from itself, much less that it led to humans, and isn't just one of countless fossils of dead end, extinct animals? Dataless speculation presented as science is pseudo science. We have no clue what kind of babies it produced. We are not only being told they led to us but that unseen, "missing" links did the same thing. Based on faith, as usual. Btw how do you tell "missing" links from never exisisted links?

"Primate fossil 'NOT an ancestor'" (BBC, October, 21 2009)

"Dr Erik Seiffert says that Ida belonged to a group more closely linked to lemurs than to monkeys, apes or us... [Dr Seiffert continues] "They are more closely related to lemurs and lorises than they are to tarsirs or monkeys, apes and humans. This study would effectively REMOVE Ida from our ancestry."
