Darwinius masillae
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darwinius masillae is a basal or stem group primate from the Eocene epoch, 47 million years ago (Lutetian stage). The genus Darwinius was named to celebrate Charles Darwin on his bicentenary and the species name masillae honors Messel where the specimen was found.) The only known fossil, dubbed Ida, was discovered in 1983 at the Messel pit, a disused shale quarry near the village of Messel, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) southeast of Frankfurt am Main. The fossil, divided in two sections after the amateur excavation and sold separately, was not reassembled until 2006.

The scientists who published the initial paper on Darwinius described it as a significant transitional form (a so-called "missing link") between early primitive primates and the later prosimian and simian lineages. The creature appeared superficially similar to a modern lemur. The fossil is classified as lying near the separation of two major primate clades: one leading to the prosimians, the other to the anthropoid monkeys and, eventually, to the great apes, including Homo sapiens. However, concerns have been raised about the claims made about its relative importance, and the publicising of the fossil before adequate information was available for scrutiny by other scientists. Another concern is that while other evolutionary steps have many more examples, this species is currently known only from a single fossil specimen.

The authors of the paper describing Darwinius classified it as a member of the primate family Notharctidae, subfamily Cercamoniinae.

Yea. This was just recently found to be a missing link. I was going to post it but felt no need to do so. Google has all the most recent stuff if you just look at their logo on the main site. Check and click the logo every now and then to see whats up.

Oh yeah, I saw that on Gmail news. One guy commented "Oh yeah, that REALLY looks like a human you FUCKING idiots!"

It's tail is really reptile like for a primate though. I wouldn't know it wasn't a small dinosaur if there wasn't an article under the picture.

And it's the missing link between what and what?

People (stupid ones at that) think that this has no baring on relations to humans... because they are stupid.

It's already been added by wikipedia to that list :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_evolution_fossils

I don't think i can believe in that.
I mean, what, a tail?
We would have something left of it now, altho we're so far away from it.

Idiots, why do you think it's called a tail bone?

I believe that we evolved from a different species and that it is evolution and not some god type of character that created us. The tail theory has been proven already, and for you that believe that god is real. Prove to me he is real. [Without mentioning the Bible.]
