The researchers believe it comes from the time when the primate lineage, that diversified into monkeys, apes and ultimately humans, split from a separate group that went on to become lemurs and other less well known species.

Crucially though, Ida is not on the lemur line because she lacks two key characteristics shared by lemurs – a grooming claw on her second toe and a fused set of teeth called a tooth comb. Also, a bone in her ankle called the talus is shaped like members of our branch of the primates. So the researchers believe she may be on our evolutionary line dating from just after the split with the lemurs.

Actually it's the Daily Express that always talks about Diana, but I'm just being pedantic.

It's kind of ironic to see an Evolutionist trying to connect religion and evolution. Usually it's the other way around. Another reason why atheists have no room to talk.

That is quite a long tail. What does one do with such a tail?
