If it were a transitional between a lemur and a monkey it would be of a species that was a common ancestor to all monkeys apes and humans; according to the theory of common descent.
Similarly, a fish to amphibian transitional would be a common ancestor to all amphibians and reptiles.
And a reptile to mammal transitional would be a common ancestor to all mammals.
A lemur to monkey transitional would be a common ancestor to all monkeys apes and humans.
A monkey to ape transitional would be a common ancestor to all apes and humans.
A ape to human transitional would be a common ancestor to all humans.
The scientific argument about Ida is over if it is indeed a lemur to monkey transitional.
It has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the specifics (let alone “proof”) of ape to human evolution.
To represent the argument as being over ape to human evolution is to lie.
“Certain traits of Ida’s lower jaw were hyped as being critical indicators of her transitional status between adapiforms (an extinct group of lemur look-alikes) and anthropoid apes, which according to evolutionary definitions include humans.”
Does that sound like ICR is claiming that Ida is a transitional between apes and humans? No, they are pointing out that the Temple of Darwin fanatics were claiming that Ida completed the primate line leading to the supposed ape-human transition by connecting that line to all mammals. Duh. I think all that incense that you have been burning for Darwin has affected your brain. Time step out of your evo-temple and breath in the fresh air of God's creation!
