This would be a great find and finally put an end to much debate and BS among so many people. But. . .it does kind of seem too good to be true. I hope the scientists are not over looking or neglecting things so that they can prove their theories. It would not be the first time people have done that for this same reason.

Awesome.

So great for science to find an entire skeleton like that.

However the idea of a "missing Link" is not exactly helpful. There`s not just one transitional form, there are many many forms.

ANyway, just another great transitional form proving Evolution once again :)

Edit: Good call Sceth. Hopefully no conclusions are being jumped to.

Looks more like the skeleton of a small sloth to me, opposable toes and tail. Chimps are closer to being human than this thing. And I thought big foot was the missing link.

I hope they are hiding the fossil well. I bet the creationists would love to destroy it.

^ Then you are not the type of creationist we would be against ...well not too much anyway.

This is just for the young earthers and people who believe in adam and eve and Noah :)

If you believe in evolution, then you don`t seem to understand what you`re supposed to believe in your religion.

I wonder what the first human being thought like. Was he good or bad? I wonder if he lost a third arm in some freak accident and we were doomed for eternity to only have two arms :(

Goddamn i love Attenborough.
Score one more for the rational thinkers and scientists.

Now creationists will argue that god put it there as a test of our will...bullshit.

This is very powerful if it is indeed real.

Found 20 years ago? examined in secret for 2 years. I heard about ida weeks ago. As important a find as this should be to all humans it doesnt seem to be such a big issues with most of the world community. I suppose were too caught up in other things.
