                     A monkey's uncle? Nope - Ida only a distant relative

21 Oct 09 - “Remember Ida, the fossil discovery announced last May with its own book and TV documentary?” asks this article by Malcolm Ritter in an Associated Press article.

Ida, a skeleton of a 47 million-year-old cat-sized creature called Darwinius, starred in a book "The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor."

A publicity blitz called Ida "the link" that would reveal the earliest evolutionary roots of monkeys, apes and humans.

However, a new analysis shows that “Ida is as far removed from the monkey-ape-human ancestry as a primate could be,” says Ritter.

Darwinius does not belong in the same primate category as monkeys, apes and humans. Instead, it falls into a different major grouping, which includes lemurs. 

     I wonder if Ida died at, or near, a magnetic reversal?

Thanks to Brent Mayhew for this link
          “Thank you so much for all the work you do,” says Brent. “We all owe you
           a huge thanks for keeping the sanity alive in this crazy world.”

I Just could not put it
down - I received the
books last night. I started
with Magnetic Reversals
and Evolutionary Leaps. 
I just could not put it down.

I will need to read it many
times before I can even
begin to digest the depth
of knowledge it contains.
