Scientists Unveil Missing Link In Human Evolution

May 19, 2009 on Sky News

Scientists have unveiled a 47-million-year-old fossilised skeleton of a monkey hailed as the missing link in human evolution.

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".

Even more confusing banana is 50% dna shared with humans. Why are these ancient monkey skulls so rare??? Yet we find 65million old mosquitoes.

@GeniusAtheist

It is quite clear you belong to the religion of darwinism!!

What you have stated is nothing BUT BBC news speculation & FAITH!!

"mammals did not appear until 5million years" again you are making up excuses!! Regardless what period, they appeared, the point of fact is that these ANCIENT MONKEY SKULLS, are rare.

U can try to make up excuses & create faith(theories). The darwinism theory of evolution is flawed.

I respect religions that are TRUE, but I belong to none.

@OMGitsSEVEN Ida is a 47 million year old common ancestor of anthropoids and prosimians; a time when the continents and climate were completely different. Her descendants were the ones who later evolved to other anthropoid species in Africa, for example.

[OMGitsSEVEN]

why was she found in europe and not africa? Didnt we already lose our tails before leaving africa?

@TheBENGALHANNIBAL Simple ther are more insects then they are humans.. Making these ancient monkey skulls soo rare... But I wonder what RebelResistance2011 said O_o...!!!

Wow this evoheads are relly desperate to find ANYTHING they can teach to 5 year old children to be their ancestor....what is this?? a small monkey???? how the heck they can tell that it is the ancestor of who??? ADN relationship??? Our DNA is realted to flies too....

When it comes to Darwin and his children(atheist ,or evolution fools)the question is who is right,The BIBLE.or Darwin?GODor Darwin ?that's the bottom line.

LOL! 2:12 "It is thought that a layer of co2 would form on the surface of the lake causing the animals to pass out, and sink to the bottom" LOL!

They call that "science".

You can never question creation because the function of hydrogen and most of the most common elements that are essential working parts inside of life forms along with the ordering of the essential working parts inside of us all require a very great Maker.

And "darwinism" is NOT a religion, i have no idea why ppl want to call it that... is has NOTHING to do with religion....

[Grokfyr]

@TheBENGALHANNIBAL and i love how u respect religions that are true !..... please sir, none of them are, and its really easy to say.... evolution is the best explanation we have, even without fossils....... creation is just Sooo stupid....

[Grokfyr]

@TheBENGALHANNIBAL because they are bigger than mosquitoes, and arent so easy to preserve.... and there are alot more mosquitoes, so a better chances to find one :D
