We saw the replica of Lucy at the Field Museum in Chicago. Did you know they say she is four-hundred and sixty-two trillion years old - Amazing!What’s the attraction of seeing another set of monkey bones?
I understand that that's a question intended entirely to inflame, but, first, the attraction is that Lucy has done more than any other single fossil to expand our understanding of our human family tree.
Second, Lucy isn't a monkey, and until such time as you can understand the difference between an Australopithecine and a monkey, I'd suggest you'd refrain from bloviating on science threads.
Your comment exhibits a callous lack of appreciation for these ancient specimens.
Or are you one who thinks there is simply nothing left to learn from them?
Lucy, like human beings and the species closest to humans in DNA homology and anatomic morphology, was an ape.
Because the monkey is extinct? There's a certain fascination with that. We wish we could see the real animal cavorting, but I guess this is the next best thing. Oh, yes, and there are those who believe that monkey is their grandma.
