If Ida is the fossil of an extinct lemur now it was exactly the same when found, so no one notices after having the Ida fossil in their possession to study and consult over for, what? a year? two years?

But who knows? Maybe Ida can be rehabilitated if another fossil of same kind can be found with just the right “missing link” features. But it's more likely that Ida will end up in a museum's dusty basement drawer.

But it's more likely that Ida will end up in a museum's dusty basement drawer.

IIRC, that's where IDA spent her first few years.
