The “Missing Link” Little Rat Makes Us Humans & Apes. Because It Has Thumbs.

This cute little rat looking thing is deemed to be the missing link to all primites evolutions and humans.

“This is the first link to all humans,” Hurum, of the Natural History Museum in Oslo, Norway, said in a statement. Ida represents “the closest thing we can get to a direct ancestor.”


Ida, properly known as Darwinius masillae, has a unique anatomy. The lemur-like skeleton features primate-like characteristics, including grasping hands, opposable thumbs, clawless digits with nails, and relatively short limbs.

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s just a regular rat.
