Global event???

Wow. So many conclusions and the show hasn't even aired yet!

Who needs exercise? Let's just jump to conclusions and fly off the handle

Seriously, people are digging in their heels and making up their minds about it before any explanations have been offered. Relax. It's on the day after tomorrow. I can wait until Monday night before I start throwing stones at it.

But, that's assuming I'll put it into any other bucket than the one everything else goes into...the one labeled "Stuff".

But what does the JFK assassination and 9-11, and all the other dates that were listed, have to do with it?

I believe I saw a NYT article about it. Fossil picture (with skin and muscles, etc.) looks sort of like a alligator <G> (hmmm, reptilian?? LOL)

THAT'S exactly why I'm interested in watching it. We all know that once the alien connection is drawn, the religions of the world will have a lot of (lied to) followers to answer to.

SCIENTISTS have unveiled the skeleton of what they said could be the common ancestor to humans, apes and other primates.

The tiny creature, officially known as Darwinius masillae, but dubbed Ida, lived 47 million years ago and is unusually well preserved, missing only part of a leg, or five per cent of the skeleton.

The finding, described yesterday in the PloS ONE scientific journal, was displayed at a press conference at New York's Natural History Museum, and is due to be the subject of a documentary on the History Channel, BBC and other broadcasters.

Organisers said that scientists led by Norway's fossil expert, professor Jorn Hurum, worked for two years on Ida, first discovered in 1983 by private collectors who failed to understand her importance - and split the bones into two lots.

The monkey-like creature was preserved through the ages in Germany's Messel Pit, a crater rich in Eocene Epoch fossils.

Although bearing a long tail, she had several human characteristics, including an opposable thumb, short arms and legs and forward facing eyes.

She also lacked two key elements of modern lemurs: a grooming claw and a row of lower teeth known as the toothcomb.

"This is the first link to all humans - truly a fossil that links world heritage," Professor Hurum said in a statement.

David Attenborough, the renowned British naturalist and broadcaster, said the "little creature is going to show us our connection with all the rest of the mammals".

"The link they would have said until now is missing... it is no longer missing," he said.

Ida gives a glimpse into a time when the world was just taking its present shape.

Dinosaurs were extinct, the Himalayas were forming and a huge range of mammals thrived in vast jungles.

According to the international team, Ida had suffered a badly broken wrist and this might have been her undoing.

The theory is that while drinking from the Messel lake she was overcome by carbon dioxide fumes and fell in.

"Ida slipped into unconsciousness, was washed into the lake, and sank to the bottom, where the unique conditions preserved her for 47 million years," a statement said.

Her last meal shows she was a herbivore. Gut contents revealed remains of fruits, seeds and leaves.

"This fossil is so complete. Everything's there. It's unheard of in the primate record at all. You have to get to human burial to see something that's this complete," Professor Hurum said.

The press conference was unusually strongly hyped for a scientific event and the announcement was tied into a media campaign including the release of the documentary.

Can't wait to hear you thoughts...

recallone and Northern Boy,

You're gonna watch, right?

Northern Boy · 05-26-2009, 02:23 AM

I`ll be watching but anyone who thinks that this is the missing link well let me rephrase this this maybe the missing link as far as coming out of water on to land but to say this is what we as modern day humans go there is still the alot of missing evidence. Look at the more recent developments of the upright walking ancestors there are missing links here as well and that is what we should focus on . I recommend you go here http://projectavalon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14092 and watch the video`s the first 5 set up the last three where it gets interesting to say the least.

recallone · 05-26-2009, 07:38 AM

Watched it. Only dosed off a couple of times.

I don't see what the big deal was. Okay, so it was a really bitchin' fossil with lemur and monkey attributes, but I don't feel like I've just seen the light or anything like that. If it wasn't for all the date references in the trailer, I probably wouldn't have watched all two hours of it. That the program never addressed them kind of rubbed me the wrong way - Bad History Channel, BAD!

Whatever. I got to hang out with my wife for two hours and listen to a really excited European dude talk about his find. He's happy about it. And I'm happy he's happy. But I should have went to see the new Star Trek movie, instead.
