First human ancestor revealed

[check two]

A tiny, furry-tailed creature is the most complete picture yet as to what the ancestor of humans once looked like.


These new findings also suggest this forerunner appeared shortly after the catastrophe that ended the age of dinosaurs, scientists added.

The scientists then worked with an artist to illustrate this ancestor. In addition to a furry tail, the researchers suggest the four-legged creature likely ate insects, weighed from 6 grams (about the weight of some shrews) up to 245 grams — less than half a pound — and was more adapted for general scampering than built for more specialized forms of movement, such as swinging from trees. Also, its cerebral cortex — the part of the brain linked to higher mental processes — was probably convoluted, folds linked with greater brain activity, the researchers found.

i reckon they were a lot bigger than that. they might have been that big at birth, but i reckon they would have gotten a lot bigger as it matured. like that dinosaur i posted with the long tail.

i dun told y'all they were giant rodents.
