Just so long as they eventually publish. A lot of stuff in this field doesn't get published; not because of any bias or conspiracy, but simply due to academic sloppiness or lack of funds. Hopefully the folks at the Miquel Crusafont Institute of Palaeontology are not affected by this.

Actually, there's quite a bit of publication already. The basic story is about a year old. Google the full name of the Institute to find a bunch of additional info, and see above for a photo of the skull.

Apparently, this critter had some features of a primate and some of a monkey, but had short fingers like a primate. It's fascinating, and it sounds like additional stuff is being found now, resulting in this new story.

It's worth a Google.
