My guess would be that based on evolutionary theories this creature would be of a neighboring branch on the "tree of life"

But I have to say I'm with Yorick on the conclusion.

An evolutionist (yes I'm generalizing) will say that it's an ancestral creature to humans. A creationist or a proponent of I.D. would say look at the common features made by the same designer. Personally, I can't put trust in the lineage based solely on some similar bone structures. Now, if there were a genetic profile, there might be something to go on.

Add: Oh look, I'm a vampire now. Everyone to Cloudy's drinks are on me, today. Tonight, they're on you.
