This story was reported on the BBC TV 6 pm news this evening. They think the creature lived around the time of the split into the tarsier branch of primates and 'our' (larger, anthropoid) branch. Though in fact I see that the online story states that the scientists think probably it was on the tarsier branch. It's a bit unfortunate that BBC TV News sought to sensationalise somewhat re a human ancestor, though it's still very interesting and the fossil looks impressive (if the creature was rather small).
Here's the Nature paper: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v4 ... 12200.html
Dr Henry Gee has made a quote that is correct but will probably be misused by YECs. But we haven't got a repetition here of what happened with 'Ida'.
