I've seen a lot of media hype about the fossil of an ancient monkey known as "Ida". The reports are that this is definitive proof of a transitional species showing that modern man evolved from earlier primates. As the link to an article states, we've heard this before. Wild hype about a historic discovery and then after further examination it turns out to nothing new. The news about the actual truth of the discovery gets buried. Ego.
I'll be looking for more on Ida, but in the mean time read this and this.
