The search for a direct connection between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom has taken 200 years - but it was presented to the world today at a special news conference in New York.
The discovery of the 95%-complete 'lemur monkey' - dubbed Ida - is described by experts as the "eighth wonder of the world".
They say its impact on the world of palaeontology will be "somewhat like an asteroid falling down to Earth".
Researchers say proof of this transitional species finally confirms Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and the then radical, outlandish ideas he came up with during his time aboard the Beagle.
Sir David Attenborough said Darwin "would have been thrilled" to have seen the fossil - and says it tells us who we are and where we came from.
YES!!!!
FINALLY!
Miss Sniggles and me can finally come out and be the proud same species couple we always felt deep down inside we really were!
"Come Miss Sniggles, they can't laugh at us ANYMORE!"
"OH DUDE! (Cough) Wait......whaaa?"

Ho much did that monkey's shoes cost?
A bundle.
But you know what?, I'd just as soon keep them off. You aint lived until you've laid back with a good foot job.
You keep your homosapien girls. I've gone chimp and I aint ever comin' back.
Say what you want, but I've always said baboons have the best asses.
