The latest fossil is always the breakthrough, from any continent. Although, this could be a very interesting find that is as advertised.

"55-million-year-old fossil, which looks a bit like a mouse with monkey-like feet"

Sounds more like a rat to me........

The scientists contend that the 55-million-year-old fossil, which looks a bit like a mouse with monkey-like feet, is the world's oldest known ape-like creature.

Ah of course, the "world renowned" mouse-monkey-bear-pig-man fossil... sounds like they found the remnants of the first libtard.

I think Devo was right: We are de-evolving judging by how many morons out there keep voting Demon-rat. "Say, duuuh...let me keep voting for the party that wants to take as much money as possible from me because I looove working for nuthin'!"

My biggest skepticism regarding these kinds of claims is the assumption that because something is morphologically remotely apelike or primate like that it must be of a common lineage. These kinds of assumptions have in many instances been proven unfounded especially in modern taxonomy where genetic analysis sometimes fails to align with taxonomical classification. Definitely interesting but in the realm of claimed ancestors of man grand claims have been frequent based upon the most circumstantial evidence. This whole field is filled more with the creative imagining of scientists than with real measurable strict analysis based on pure science.
