    A discovery of a 47-million-year-old fossil primate that is said to be a human ancestor was announced and unveiled today at a press conference in New York City.
    Known as "Ida," the nearly complete transitional fossil is 20 times older than most fossils that provide evidence for human evolution.

    It shows characteristics from the very primitive non-human evolutionary line (prosimians, such as lemurs), but is more related to the human evolutionary line (anthropoids, such as monkeys, apes and humans), said Norwegian paleontologist Jørn Hurum of University of Oslo Natural History Museum.

    TLR--Thanks for posting those. I'm always interested in anything about autism since I have a 10 year old nephew who is severely inflicted with it. It is a very frustrating disease. That 2nd story is also extremely interesting. That kind of stuff amazes me! Just where do we all come from? And to think that her death could of been all because of a broken wrist. What an amazing find!

    It certainly is exciting to think they can find cures to diseases. Autism afflicts many; like Willie, my nephew has it (although it is a mild case).
