One of these earliest mammals claimed to be in the line of man is a small, rodentlike animal said to have lived about 70*million years ago. In their book Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind, Donald Johanson and Maitland Edey wrote: “They were insect-eating quadrupeds about the size and shape of squirrels.”  Richard Leakey called the mammal a “rat-like primate.” But is there any solid evidence that these tiny animals were the ancestors of humans? No, instead only wishful speculation. No transitional stages have ever linked them with anything except what they were: small, rodentlike mammals."</p></blockquote><p></p>
