Don't worry 2dimes. That is obviously a fake video. I mean, uhm, just look at the size of those earphones. **Munches on a banana**

A nearly complete skeleton of a tiny, ancient primate ā one that weighed no more than an ounce, had a tail longer than its body and would fit in the palm of your hand ā is the earliest well-preserved fossil primate ever found, dating back some 55 million years and dialing back the fossil record for primates by an impressive eight million years, a research team declared on Wednesday.
The finding adds weight to the evidence that primates originated in Asia ā not Africa ā and that they emerged relatively soon after the extinction of the dinosaurs, which happened about 66 million years ago in an event known as the Cretaceous mass extinction.
The older date brings scientists closer to pinpointing a pivotal event in primate and human evolution: the divergence between the lineage leading to anthropoids ā which include modern monkeys, apes and humans ā and the one leading to tarsiers and other types of monkeys.
...
The primate skeleton belongs to a species never seen before, one that the researchers identified as the earliest known ancestor of tarsiers ā a type of small, nocturnal primate living today in the forests of Southeast Asia. This unprepossessing early primate, which dwelt in trees and feasted on insects, was even smaller than todayās smallest primate, the pygmy mouse lemur of Madagascar.
...
āWeāve heard of the āout of Africaā theory of human evolution, but thatās recent history,ā said K. Christopher Beard, a paleontologist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh and an author of the journal report. āSo there may now be the āinto Africaā problem.ā That is: How and when did some primates finally make it to Africa, which was an island as recently as 38 million years ago, to set in motion the emergence of the human species?
