"In what could prove to be a landmark discovery, a leading paleontologist said scientists have dug up the 47 million-year-old fossil of an ancient primate whose features suggest it could be the common ancestor of all later monkeys, apes and humans."http://online.wsj.

I thought I heard that it was a relative of a common ancestor, rather than a common ancestor itself. Also it looks like this article leaves out the fact that it was in a private collection for quite some time. Makes me wonder if anything else useful is hidden away in a "private collection" to the detriment of scientific progress...
