The oldest complete fossil of a primate 
Regjeringen gir penger til sensasjonelt fossilfunn
An international research team organized by the University of Oslo has for the last two years, in secret, studied and documented the oldest complete fossil of a primate. 
En internasjonal forskergruppe har de siste to årene, i hemmelighet, studert og dokumentert det eldste komplette fossilfunnet av en primat.
A milestone is now reached when the result of this research is being published. 
- En milepæl er nådd når denne forskningen publiseres.
- By studying our relatives among primates we can learn more about ourselves. 
Ved å studere våre slektninger blant primatene kan vi lære mer om oss selv, sier forskningsminister Tora Aasland.
