<![CDATA[The Link]]>This is really big news. Ida’s discovery was announced recently, but now you can go to a slick web site, www.revealingthelink.com, and learn a lot about what may be the most important fossil discovery of my lifetime.

I’m still not clear on why they call her our “earliest ancestor” when it seems she’s our “earliest common ancestor” with other primates. In any case, how wonderful for this prediction of Darwin’s to come true this year when we celebrate his 200th birthday.
