Hi everyone,

Here's the link to the story "Ioanna Roumeliotis reports: 47-million-year-old primate fossil unveiled (Runs: 2:09)

http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/05/19/primate-ancient-plos-one-hurum-missing.html

Please listen to the story and answer the following questions.

 1. One scientist uses the name of a relative to compare the fossil to. What relative does he say we are dealing with?

2. What is the fossil's nickname and how old is it?

3. Where was the fossil found?

4. How old was the specimen and what sex was it?

5. Can you define what the "missing link" is?

We'll go over the questions and them do a print story on the same subject (with vocabulary) in the morning.

Thanks

Anne
