just predicted and confirmed by facts are different things, and that changed now

but mainly i'm not surprised by what you say, with the crisis and everything, research funding may require a good press pack

We already had facts, that's the thing. It was always factual that there's a transitional form linking us to Prosimians. As I said, no one in the scientific community raised an eyebrow as far as its features go, because phylogenetic bracketing alone already proved its existence long before we found it.

However, this has little to nothing to do with the current crisis, the hype machine was started 2 years ago, sadly.
