“More than 11 million years ago, an oddball ape equipped with human-like legs and robust ape-like arms clambered across tree limbs, possibly escaping feline predators. That's the picture that scientists have gleaned about a new species of fossil ape discovered in Bavaria.”
The species is called Danuvius guggenmosi, named after Danuvius, the Celtic – Roman river god and after the man who found the place where they were found, Sigulf Guggenmos.
“Danuvius is like an ape and a hominin in one," study lead author Madelaine Böhme, a palaeontologist at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen in Germany.”
Evolutionists claim that while the fossil could hang from trees, just like the modern big apes, it did not walk its fingers were not as robust like one would have expected of big apes, that is, knuckle-walkers.
But the evidence is in the fossils, and we cannot know they were from the same species. It has often happened that the fossils of one species have begun to mix with another one.
The scientist concluded that the study was outlined in the November issue of the journal Nature.
