If Lucy fell out of a tree in the forest,
would anybody hear it? How about if she
were in the sky with diamonds?

Was she on LSD?

She got the name because the paleontologists who found her skeleton had a tape of the Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and named her for Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Purety boojit !

Lucy was the ancestor of the modern "identification sect" popular today !

Lucy identified with orangutans and aspired to BE one, so she disobeyed her parents' warning and climbed a tree anyway and guess what?

She fell out of the tree and killed herself.

Maybe she was killed by the other guy who was already in the tree...

She identified as a bird. Didn’t work out.

” It bolsters the view that her species - Australopithecus afarensis - spent at least some of its life in the trees.”

I would suggest that the time spent ‘in trees’ was merely a defensive tactic to escape predators. She likely went way out on a limb trying to escape a tiger, and the limb broke.

New evidence suggests... Pure conjecture and nonsense.

Speculation presented as fact.

This is often misinterpreted as ‘journalism’ in our modern era...

A quote attributed to Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, “ There is no other profession lower in the Eyes of God than that of journalist!”

If A resembles B, is A a precursor of B? Does resemblance equal descent?

She was trying to prove Newton’s Law of Gravity.

I wonder if she was doing something stupid when she fell out of it — like swinging from a weak branch to impress her friends. Ironically, Lucy may be the original Darwin Award winner.

Yes, but what was she doing in that tree?

I’m thinking she was trying to get better phone reception.
