Google Doodle “The Missing Link” May 20, 2009
Google Doodle is Google’s way of celebrate interesting events and anniversaries around the world that reflect Google’s personality and love of innovation. The Doodle is a modified Google logo that is displayed instead of the regular Google logo.
The Doodle is based on Ida, or Darwinius, a genus of the Adapiformes from the Eocene epoch. Basically, she’s a 47 million year old fossil unveiled this week by German scientists claiming she’s the missing link to the evolution of human beings.
