Missing link’ likely to stir debate
It shows characteristics from the very primitive non-human evolutionary line (prosimians, such as lemurs), but is more related to the human evolutionary line (anthropoids, such as monkeys, apes and humans), said Norwegian paleontologist Jørn Hurum of the University of Oslo Natural History Museum. However, she is not really an anthropoid either, he said.
*cough*
So it' not a "missing link" (but who's to claim such a link is really still missing?) between humans and other apes. It's not even a missing link between apes and other monkeys. It's a missing link between monkeys and certain other animals (there seems to be no *English* word for "prosimians" to mirror German "Halbaffen".
)
It should not offend anti-evolution idiots, as it does not affect mankind's delusions of exceptionality. it does not belong in here.
