Today, the Google image is replaced by this image. The skeleton, nicknamed Ida but actually called Darwinius Masillae, may or may not be a link between primates and us, humans.
Do note a couple of things :
- may or may not be, not is
- a link, not the link or the missing link
For that my readers and only friends, that is how science works. Science makes premises, then tests them. Sometimes the tests show that the premise is false, but that is not failure. No, it successfully marks a premise that can be discarded in favor of another promising premise.
That's how science advances and today the premise that floods the news is that Ida might be a step in our own advance ...
