Dude, it's a baby ape.

looks like a dinosaur to me

Just read the page that comes up when you open the link.

There's something strikingly familiar about Ida's skeleton. That's because, like us, Ida is a primate. She lived around the time that primates split into two major groups. The prosimians are the non-human branch who have survived mainly as modern lemurs. The anthropoids are the other branch - from which humans evolved

Since Super Mario Brothers said we did.

Baby ape my A, that thing looks like a raptor!

So we evolved from raptors???

NICE!

Very cool. I'm sure the Discovery Channel has something in the works.

Wow that is ignorant

Apparently they had to pay a million dollars to get it from a private collector who had been keeping it for like 20 years.

A dinosaur with opposable thumbs and mammalian skeletal features.

Genius.

 

[Carcharodon]

Dude, it's a baby ape.

I have to make a distinction here: Ida is NOT an ape.

Primate then... Sorry mr. scientist.

I don't mean to be rude. It's just that when you're constantly dealing with misconceptions regarding evolution in general (particularly as it pertains to human ancestral lineages), you tend to get in the habit of having to make those sorts of distinctions. People who don't know a damn thing about those distinctions tend to get confused by them.

She's a Monkey-Like Lemur.
Not an ape.
Apes have no tails.

How do you conclude that she's a Lemur?

 

[chaseter]

I knew that tv show, Dinosaurs, was really our heritage!!! Dinosaurs could talk and then they evolved into humans.

 

[Shemtov]

How do you conclude that she's a Lemur?

She's a prosimian.
Prosimian = lemur.

 

[Carcharodon]

She's a prosimian.
Prosimian = lemur.

It never says she's a Prosimian.

Phail.

 

[Shemtov]

Phail.

It IMPLIED she was a Prosimian with Simian qualities. Like a tasier.
