How can a link so far back in time be a ‘link’ to that which is so recent in time?
I must be dumb as I miss the ‘connection’.
it links primates to lemurs. It has no particular relevance to human origins.
The fascination with tarsidae/tarsier can now abate.
Your not dumb. Now the people who have foolishly pronounced Ida the missing link...they are another question.
You just have to learn how to feel 'sciencey.'
Sciencey has nothing to do with science; in fact, real science gets in the way of sciencey feelings, and since the feeling is what is desired, stick with evolution and global warming, and you'll be ok.
