Found in the Middle Eocene strata and dated at 47,000,000 years, "Ida" appears to be an early lemur. Some evolutionists think it may be a possible ancestor of all primates, including humans. However, it is not the classic "missing link" between ape and man, which remains unfound. The fossil is in remarkably good shape for its estimated age. Palaeontologist Jorn Hurum said that it is "the most complete fossil before human burial."
