It shows we don't know half as much as we claim to about nature and the universe.
That monkey is cool looking. He certainly has a face and tail like a baboon, but seems to have a really sweet expression as opposed to the perpetual

they should be more careful.

"This is exciting news because it shows that the age of discovery is by no means over," he said.
