Hmm... Bacchaleorate mass tonight! Funn -_-... Whatever I guess I get to look hot in my robes haha. Om nom nom robes.
Ohh... and scientists found a fossil that is in the middle of evolution into a human 48 million years old.
New York - Scientists have announced the discovery of a 47-million-year-old human ancestor - twenty times older than most fossils that illustrate human evolution.
Discovered in the Messel Pit in Germany, the fossil - dubbed Ida - is a transitional species. It shows characteristics of both the very primitive nonhuman evolutionary line of prosimians, such as lemurs - but even more similarity to the anthropoid evolutionary line, which includes monkeys, apes and humans.
She was preserved in Germany's Messel Pit, a mile-wide crater of oil-rich shale, and is, astonishingly, 95 percent complete.
Opposable big toes and nails rather than claws confirm that the fossil is a primate, and the presence of a talus bone in the foot links Ida directly to humans.
