Enthusiastically. Let me tell you why.
I'm always interested to see a new discovery like this in the Eocene.
The Eocene is such a cool epoch (and by cool I mean hot, followed by less hot) that I get excited whenever there's something newly discovered. In part because through modern technology, it really isn't so remote.
Through the miracle of anthropomorphic global warming the kind of world in which creatures like this thrived is within reach of our descendants, possibly within living memory.
Tropics replacing deserts. Habitable northern latitudes and even poles. Longer growing seasons. Greater biodiversity, and greater biological productivity on the whole.
The ability of our species to bring about a radical change in climate should be incredibly compelling to us. It presents an amazing opportunity to transform our world for the better. How many of us read and dreamt about terraforming other worlds as youth? Our generation has the capacity to terraform our own.
We are really at a turning point as a species. Either we can continue to wallow in the current ice age or we can take the reigns of destiny and propel ourselves and our world to a better future.
