Key Purpose: The purpose of this article is to introduce a newly found species of primates.
Key Ideas:
- Scientists have found a new set of teeth belonging to an uknown primate
- Scientists have found the teeth and hopefully will find a skeleton in northern Africa
- Scientists often classify old animals from their teeth because teeth often fossilize and preserve longer than other bones
- The primate does not match any other on the tree of life
- Scientists have other species of primate to classify this one with
Key Conclusion:
Reading this article made me realize something. There is so much more to discover that will change everything we know about evolution. With this one discovery we have found a primate that may ultimately change our evolutionary line. I think that as technology becomes more advanced, we will be able to uncover more and more about where we came from. With better drills and more tools to uncover fossils there will be discoveries that will change the world. Right now, all we can do is wait and follow the discoveries made now. I really am interested to see if they find more parts of this primate and see what changes it will make.
