One more thing about Ida...

They know she's a girl because she doesn't have a penis bone.

Ida-- The Missing Link


The missing link would be a woman. This is the fossilized remains of a 47-million year old lady named Ida. Get this-- she was found in 1983 but kept hidden for over 20 years before being sold to some scientists. Those scientists have had her for two years, studying her in a secret lab somewhere. Now they say that she's the link between humans, primates, and everything else. Because of the way she was buried, she has hair all over her body and petrified veggies in her stomach. Whoa.

Roadtrip
