Only Little Ricky and his descendants can claim Lucy as a direct ancestor.

[a fool in paradise]

If we are all descended from her, than I want my ancestor’s bones back.

[Malesherbes]

Oh, too bad. It was such a politically correct notion.

[Vaquero]

another bogus, blinders on, report by ignoramuses bent on discrediting scientific fact by artificially narrowing, scientifically accepted as broad, facts.

Please if you want to go after bogus science, go after the fraud of anthropomorphic climate change.

Piltdown man

Java man

Nebraska man

Lucy

All have something in common.

The article states:

“.....[There is no] clear link between ancient apes and human beings.”

Hey, Doc, let me introduce you to some of my neighbors.

[Codeflier]

This does nothing to disprove evolution.

[dfwgator]

Lucy, you have some ‘splainin’ to do.

[stormer]

So let me get this straight. Creationists don't believe in evolution but they state that Lucy is from a different evolutionary line than modern man? Hmmm. FWIW, she's being displayed in Seattle and I saw her last week. Most of the presentation consists of Ethiopian religious history and artifacts, but she's the climax display. For me, it was a moving experience.

I have the “Lucy” book. Wonder how much I could get for it on EBAY?

[pabianice]

The author fails to note that he is anti-evolution theory. That matters.

[varmintman]

Neither "Lucy" nor any other ape or hominid is related to us via any process resembling evolution. The neanderthal has been ruled out as a plausible human ancestor precisely because the genetic gulf is too wide and the gulf between us and all other hominids other than the neanderthal is wider.

"Lucy" is said to be a human ancestor because human or near human footprints were found near her remains and are assumed to be 3M years old because of that fact, i.e. via circular reasoning. The truth of the matter is that the human footprints belonged to a human considerably less than 3M years ago and "Lucy" in all likelihood was that human's pet monkey.

Evolution is garbage science and as garbage science goes a spectacularly evil and dangerous variety, with two world wars and something like 200M - 300M dead bodies lying around to its credit. It's way past time evolutionism was gotten rid of.

[Oldpuppymax]

So Lucy was a sort of phony ape. Does that mean we should change her name to Michelle?

[Moonman62]

Based on a comparative analysis of jaw bones in living and extinct primates, researchers concluded that Lucy and members of her kind should be ‘placed as the beginning of the branch that evolved in parallel to ours.’

Does this mean that creationists now trust scientists?

[Poser]

Obama’s fault.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Lucy’s demise falsifies 33 years of evolutionary hyperbole and propaganda...

Wow! Science being used to examine science! I'm shocked.
