Many Experts Contend that Scientists’ Missing Link Fossil Not Worth the Media Hype by Stephen Yulish PhD 

Its teeth, toe, and ankle bones resemble monkeys and apes more than primitive lemurs said Paleontologist Richard Kay of Duke University who commented that the researchers on this find “failed to cite a body of literature that beginning in 1984 provides evidence that contradicts their claims.” Anthropologist Matt Cartmill of Duke also commented that “the public relations campaign on this fossil is I think more of a story than the fossil itself. It is a very beautiful fossil bit I didn’t see anything in this paper that told me anything decisive that was new.” Chris Beard, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh commented that “it is not a missing link. It is not even a terribly close relative to monkeys, apes or humans. It has been hailed as the 8th wonder of the world but I have ten more of these in my basement. “
The fact that Ida lacks a grooming claw and lacks a tooth comb is similar to some other monkeys and these are only minor variations according to scientists.
The bottom line is that while many have said that my Russian ancestors were ugly, none has ever said that they looked like Ida pictured above Thank God!
