Scientists recently got their hands on the small skeleton of a 47-million-year-old creature unearthed in Germany in 1983. The skeleton had been in the custody of a private collector until 2007, when it was purchased by the University of Oslo Natural History Museum. It was reportedly nearly complete and in outstanding condition. Furthermore, scientists believe it can be used to help researchers understand the evolutionary history of monkeys, apes and humans.

Studies have not yet revealed what type of animal the skeleton came from. All scientists currently know is that it was a four-legged creature about the size of a cat with a long tail. Scientists say that the creature is definitely not an ancestor of monkeys or humans, but that it may help us understand what our ancient ancestors looked like.

However, not all scientists agree on the skeleton's importance or lineage. Some experts hint that the skeleton may only resemble our ancestral creatures in a superficial way.

"I actually don't think it's terribly close to the common ancestral line of monkeys, apes and people," said K. Christopher Beard from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. "I would say it's about as far away as you can get from that line while still being a primate."

Experts do agree that the skeleton is a remarkable specimen, being nearly 95 percent complete. Scientists have even recovered fingertips and nails from the mysterious animal in question. The skeleton also revealed stomach contents, which show that the creature ate leaves and fruit.

"There's certainly a lot more information about this individual than probably any other fossil primate that's ever been revealed," said John Fleagle from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

The fossil was found in a mine located 25 miles southeast of Frankfurt, Germany and was named Darwinius masillae after Charles Darwin. It was also given the nickname Ida, after the six-year-old daughter of one of the scientists.
