I ‘m pleased at this piece of biological news because it is yet another refutation of creationist nonsense, but also because flying mammals are are just so damned cute:
A gliding mammal that lives in the forests of south-east Asia is our closest relative after apes, monkeys and lemurs, a DNA study shows.
Colugos are the “sisters” of primates, sharing a common ancestor some 80 million years ago when dinosaurs had their heyday, say US scientists.
We’ve had to wreck a planet to give ourselves the ability to fly at will, but if we’d only been prepared to bide our time…
