Missing Human Link?? OH MY!!

(Quotes from news story in red...my words in green).

"Hunched around a table at a VODKA bar in Hamburg, Jorn Hurum, a palaeontologist, was about to make the scientific gamble of his life. Thomas Perner, a fossil dealer whom he knew well had insisted they met; he had something VERY SPECIAL to show him."

Oh my! A drunk on vodka "ape scientist" has an alleged find (or scam) to show off to the world! Now what does his cohort have from the monkey museum to show? More from Guardian UK:

"Looking nervously over his shoulder for prying glances, Perner put three photographs of a fossil on the bar table. 'My heart started beating extremely fast,' said Hurum. 'I knew that the dealer had a world sensation in his hands. I could not sleep for two nights.'"

I would look nervously over my shoulders when a guy presents a photoshop job of a picture, ready to fool the world as something authentic. And being drunk on vodka would make a man paranoid of anything! And "world sensation" is a code for "big monkey business scam" to be pulled off in the left wing news...not being able to sleep for 2 nights is a side effect of this. and I'll skip some lines of the story to make this short and to the point...they say there were rumors of a SPECTACULAR PRIMATE FOSSIL SPECIMEN being found. And this ape doctor considers himself like a real life Indiana Jones!

Let me skip through the rest of the story...this find is called IDA, and is the remains of a Lemur. Hurum named this ape fossil after his own daughter. HE NAMES THE APE AFTER HIS DAUGHTER!! HOW FITTING! OH MY!!

Well, here's some more stuff from the story:

"This little creature is going to show us our connection with the rest of all the mammals -- with cows and sheep, and elephants and anteaters, " said Sir David Attenborough, who is narrating a BBC documentary on the find. "The more you look at IDA, the more you can see, as it were, the primate in embryo."

Hurum said: "This is the first link in human evolution. A find like this is something for all humankind. It tells a part of our evolution that's been hidden so far." His gamble appears to have paid off scientifically. He and the museum could also be catapulted to scientific stardom. Hurum seems keen on that: "This is our Mona Lisa, and it will be...for the next 100 years."

Here's the scoop: Scientists are saying that IDA is not a lemur, based on 1 thing: the teeth! Oh come on! Just the teeth determine that Ida's not a lemur? Funny how they could not take a swap onto a q-tip and analyze the remaining DNA? Here's why scientists refuse to classify the ape as a lemur:

Crucially, she was not an early representative of the primate branch that would evolve to be the modern day lemurs and other related species such as bush babies and lorises. Ida does not have a set of fused teeth in the middle of her bottom jaw called a "tooth comb", or a "grooming claw" on her second toe, both of which are characteristics of the lemurs. So it seems likely she is on our own primate line, the one that diversified into monkeys, apes and humans shortly after the split with the lemurs.

Oh really now? Just because Ida is missing a few things, she's not a lemur? HELLO!!!! There's something that happens sometimes while a baby develops in the womb of its mother: It's called a BIRTH DEFECT! It happens to both human beings and animals! While these scientists were in a drunken vodka stupor, they refused to consider the likelihood that this ape had a bunch of defects which led to its early demise one day!

Here's the title of the story which you can find on the internet: "Deal in Hamburg bar led scientist to Ida fossil, the 'eight wonder of the world' (guardian.co.uk).

Eighth wonder of the world? It's the 8th blunder of the world!!! Just do a search for IDA on the web, and you'll come across the story to read. Your credibility is as good as the credibility of this ape in Congress:


You need a "facelift" if you're going to bring some credibility to your ape report!

One more thing to your discovery, ape doctors:


BIG WHOOP!
