'the beautifully preserved remains of a 47-million-year-old lemur-like creature have been unveiled in the us.

the preservation is so good, it is possible to see the outline of its fur and even traces of its last meal.

the fossil, nicknamed ida, is claimed to be a "missing link" between today's higher primates - monkeys, apes and humans - and more distant relatives.'

i do have to laugh at the term 'missing link'... it's an archaic term... there is no such thing.

there's a great whole website with information on ida at revealing the link.
