"This probably is very close to the last common ancestor of great apes and humans," said Salvador Moya-Sola of the Miguel Crusafont Institute of Paleontology in Barcelona, Spain, who led the study.

It appears that ancient bones have not lost their ability to make monkeys out of those who try to decipher what the flesh on them looked like. This is probably one of those people who had a major physical deformity, and the "scientist" are trying to make us believe it's a precursor to all apes. They will never learn; but why do they continue to try this evasive "missing" link between species? Because they don't want to have to face the consequences when they find out (read - come to their senses) that there IS NO MISSING LINKS BETWEEN SPECIES, and therefore, all animals were created by a "highly intellegent being" (their way of admittting that there is a God) that must have created all life. BUT they don't want to believe that because then they will have to be accountable to that "Creator" who, according to Scripture demands complete obedience to Him, his Commandments, statutes, laws, and covenants, and that's something they will never allow themselves to do, so, they continue to look for that "impossible dream" so that they don't have to even think about the possibility of "intelligent design".

If it is the "missing link" then why are the lesser primates still here? Why are any primates sill here at all if they evolved into humans?

Answer: Interspecies evolution is bunk.

You can put a suit on him, but he is still an ape.

Here's what I find interesting. We've had recorded history for what ... a few thouasand years. And in that time span, not a single mammal has split or branched a new species. Even if the Earth is a billion years old and even if takes millions of years to evolve, assuming evolution is an ongoing process you would expect for some animal to naturally reach its critical mass in last few thousand years. Even the animals we 'create' -- for lack of a better word -- (ie. mule = horse + donkey) can't produce offspring. Every "missing link" throughout history has proven to be a hoax; I won't hold my breath waiting for this one to be validated. I'm not flaming anyone for their belief or disbelief in this stuff -- I do find it interesting myself -- but I'm a pretty rational thinker and the whole billions of years of evolution line is getting pretty tired in light of the evidence.

Earlier thread on this: Ancient Animal Could Be Human-Ape Ancestor . But that's okay. It's an important fossil.
