Scientists say that Tyrannosaurus rex had a "pint-sized precursor, remarkably similar in appearance but no heavier than a human being." This is based on "a single fossil" smuggled out of China.
There is no detail on exactly how large that "single fossil" is. It could be a tooth. "Scientists" have been known to build an entire animal from a single jawbone. How do they know what the animal looked like from such scant remains? They don't. So until they show me what they actually found, I'm quite skeptical. The same goes for the recently discovered "Ardi," the purported next step to the missing link.

Don't all those scientists remind you of Jon Lovitz..."From this small tooth, we've determined they look like this...yeah, that's the ticket!!"
