Just saw that as well...Interesting.
 
Another gem in the comments section of the above mentioned site.

Animals can’t turn into other animals! Otherwise you could win a goldfish and by the time you get home it might turn into a whale! Or you could buy a dog and have turn into a Giraffe! Monkeys don’t turn into people! LMAO!

Nah, its boring enough to be real.
And they where poking at this thing for years before they went public so they might as well have chosen a nice and exciting time to tell the world. Just wish they toned down the hype a notch or 7.

Yeah and people don't age. Otherwise babies would just turn into geriatrics and adults would just turn into todlers. :rolleyes:
 
Just read the whole lot....it does sound interesting though!!!

From What i can gather, i am now basicaly related to Mugabe!!
 
While all this is fine, it is also an equally interesting coincidence that Ida was discovered within a ‘volcanic lake’ and was preserved by an ‘unknown force’ because such descriptors blatantly match the profile of Satan.

Hell is the most volcanic lake in existence and Satan is well known for his interest in paleontology, as it begets the Lies of Evolution.

Who's going to take an article seriously that has this as its slogan? Not me...
 
Ok, so whats up with the History Channels Adverts?

the 2nd advert said "Were we lied to? Our air. Our Water" ?? what does that have to do with anything?

. The species is supposed to be a link between early primates and other mammals. A common ancestor so to speak.

I would wait for the peer review and all that jazz. From the looks of things is most likely is a common ancestor.

Look how that article is labled "Humankinds earliest ancestor".. I would have thought a single celled bacteria would be our earliest... I wonder where that guy at the Times got his headline from...

Anyways, from the article:

The second reason the discovery is so important is its age. Ida — her scientific name is Darwinius masillae — dates to about 47 million years ago, when temperatures were warmer than they are today and when mammals underwent a burst of evolutionary diversification. In particular, that's when primates began splitting off into two branches. One became anthropoids, whose descendants are monkeys, apes and humans. The other turned into prosimians — lemurs and their kin.

Ida is intriguing because she has some characteristics of both branches, which suggests that she could be a transitional animal that gave rise to the anthropoids and, ultimately, to us.

Thats where she is significant. Now the question is she the link between the two, or did she branch off after the link, etc etc. Im sure that will all be clarified as more work is done.

I would be very confused if someone referred to this as a "humanoid".

If you did not read the article correctly you might be confused (expecially if you read none of the initial material on the right science websites.).

Basically, I think what Michael is trying to tell us in the article is that dont think its a human missing link (in case you were very very confused), expect it to be a normal transitional fossil. I think a lot of people are confused and have this whole "humanoid-ganna-hit-my-wife-with-a-club-over-the-head" impression in their mind... which its not.

you completely missed my question W1z4rd.

I meant "what does that have to do with anything?" as what does the "our air, our water - have we been lied to?" got to do with ida?

Sorry, I thought we were talking about Ida.. my bad. I dont know anything about the history TV ads.
 
Dude it has tail and a teeth bigger than my tumb. That thing ain't my relative. At what point do you stop saying something is part of "human kind"?
