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.

What makes this doodle different from most of Google previous doodles, it has sparked anger from some groups.
