Eosimias lives? Based on a few jawbones and a lot of scientific guesswork, artist Brian Cooley (above right) re-created the 40-million-year-old creature thought by some to be an early link in the anthropoid chain (which includes humans). Mary Ann Wilson (at left), Cooley's wife, later clothed the apoxy sculpture in a red squirrel pelt. "What we had to work with for Eosimias was about as little as you can get for a reconstruction," says Cooley, who typically builds life-size dinosaur models. "We didn't get the animal pickled in full color—we had to guess." Eosimias' jaw, discovered in China, resembles that of a marmoset, so Cooley used a marmoset skeleton as a guide.
