If it’s all media hype, how are you going to complain about the evil scientists?
One article I read had a quote saying this was a ‘great-great-grandaunt’ rather than a ‘great-great-grandmother.’ So they are already admitting it is not an actual transition form despite the sensationalized headlines. The trunk of the evolutionary tree is perpetually missing.
It is only a kangaroo skeleton, look at it closley.

I say again, this whole deal is preposterous. “Ida” is a stinking monkey and the problem with human evolution is at the top of the chain and not at the bottom (with monkeys). The neanderthal has been ruled out as a plausible human ancestor by DNA studies and all other hominids were further removed from us THAN the neanderthal. That leaves nothing on this planet we could be descended FROM via any process resembling evolution. They’d need some new hominid, closer to us in both time and morphology THAN the neanderthal and the works and remains of such a thing would be all over the map and very easy to find if it had ever existed.
