Oldest "human" Skeleton: Contradicts "Missing Link"

[♣Gawain♣]

One thing, if you dissaprove the theory of evo or anything that is contradicting to this thread, don't post:

Here is it.

The scientific name of the fossil is Ardipheticus ramidus, and the nickname's "Ardi". It really contradicts the thing that the missing link would be a chimp-like human.

Except they've already found the "missing link" skeleton.

How does that contradict Darwin? It says that before the missing link (And probably before the chimps) there was some wierd thing that was like neither of them, surely this re-enforces evolution?

It doesn't say we aren't related to apes, it says the missing link isn't a chimpanzee.

Read more than the title kthx.

^ why you're a moron?(the deleted post)
^ you finally get the drift.

Excpet for the fact that we're talking about "real-human-ancestor-missing-link", not the real lemur like missing link. It startled me since humans still underwent unkown process of human-like evolutions before "Lucy".

This is pretty cool. I would say more but I don't know enough about anthropology in a Human perspective to back up my claims.

I would like to point out that scientists never thought the missing link would be a chimpanzee. The missing link they assumed would be chimpanzee like, since it is the last common ancestor of chimps and humans. This fossil is not chimpanzee like, so that's why it's so interesting.

^ Or something like that. It's confusing. :/

I just read the first few words of the topic, not the whole thing.
I was complaining about how they overhyped everything out of these fossils, even though they were great discoveries. Somewhere in the time range of when Ida was discovered, people figured out how to make ribonucleotides(which was shadowed by the fossil), which is just a much bigger discovery since Evolution has enough evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt, not to mention that we also found "missing links" for almost every other species *cough*tiktaalik*cough*.

Of course though, evolution is an enigma; any little mutation can either destroy a species or strongly increase its chances to survive for many millennium. We don't know what happened during our process what happened to become this species we are today, and I gamble that we may never know.
