We are accustomed to look upon the shackled form of a conquered monster, but there - there you could look at a thing monstrous and free." - King Kong, 2005

Well, this is not really news for me. I knew about Deuterostomia before.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

The point of the article is really the age of these newly discovered specimens, and the innovative use of electron microscopy.

Misleading title is misleading. This critter isn't really any more a human ancestor than it a snake ancestor or a fish ancestor. I was really confused when I saw that Pac-Man-esque image at the top of a page I expected to be about hominids.

Hehe, I know. Vertebrate ancestor, like Pikaia. Hey, that would make it a dinosaur ancestor too.  ::)
