What scientists in New York Tuesday humans, monkeys and other primates may be the common ancestors of the skeleton unveiled.
This little creature, officially known as Darwinius masillae, but called Ida, lived 47 million years ago, and unusually well preserved, only five per cent of the skeleton is missing.
The discovery of the scientific journal PloS one described in the New York Museum of Natural History in a conference, and was shown the history channel, BBC and other broadcasters will be the subject of a documentary on.
Norway has the fossil expert scientists, led by Professor Jorn Hurum, Ida on for two years, first in 1983, which it failed to understand the importance private collectors - and the division of two bones in search of work.
This fossil, which lived in the forests of Central Europe, a new species of primates and represents "is" for its completion, "a soft full body, including the extraordinary design ... With the content of the digestive tract, "the scientists wrote in PLoS.
Messel Pit in Germany as being a monkey, a crater Eocene age in the era rich in fossil was through.
However, a long tail effect, he, an opposable thumb, including small arms and legs, and had many human qualities, eyes facing forward.
David Attenborough, British broadcaster and naturalist, "yet they have said that the link is missing, it said ... and not miss."
"This sample is that we include this group is a very early fossil looks like a monkey," Brian Rikmond, USbased an anthropologist at George Washington University said.
Rikmond that at this time period from the fossil record is mentioned in one big difference. Researchers are uncertain when and where the primate group, monkey, monkeys and humans, including the second group that includes lemurs are different.
"Ida, an important branching points on the evolutionary tree, but it is not only the branching point," Richmond said.
Ida at a time when the world a glimpse of the size was just your current offers. Dinosaurs, the Himalayas and a large range of mammals were extinct were making in the vast forests thrived.
According to scientists, Ida, and suffered a badly broken wrist that it was her may have been destroyed. The theory that carbon dioxide was overcome by fumes and fell into the lake of Messel said that as long as drinking is
Ida at least one aspect is unquestionably unique: Eocene era, when rapid growth period of early primates have samples of her incredble protection unheard of.
"At this time period there are very few fossils, and they separate a tooth here or there are probably a tailbone," Richmond explained.
"So you that the fossil of what (type) or the evolutionary history of biology as a whole represents a lot of," can not connect.
Because they may suggest that, according to Rikmond, Ida is the original European, - Contrary to popular belief - that the continent primate was an important area for development are conspiracy. Agencies
