If you insist on hanging your stuff out in public, be prepared to be told it’s not as large as you think it is.

I don’t know, xcamel, but if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’ve been hitting the bottle again.

Regardless of all the gotcha, the Ardi skeleton is fascinating. The researchers painstakingly combed the discovery site for 15 years to get the complete skeletal remains. That’s a huge leap beyond the incomplete Lucy. I don’t particularly care for the artist conception in Science Mag - they made too many assumptions without adhering to the muscle mass ratios based on limb length and thickness. I’d like to see a clay model rather than pencil. The clay applied on the replica skeleton will give you a fairly precise reconstruction. Hairy or non- well... that’s the artists guess.
