Maybe Lucy was pushed. Jane was a jealous wench who whored around with every dude "in the cave".

The tale goes like this....Lucy was going to meet with Tarze, the best looking dude in the cave...a real beast!! Jane knew their meeting place. As Lucy swung to "their" tree, Jane cut the vine.

And that's the real story of Tarze and Jane.

“Wouldn’t the tiger (or whatever) simply have eaten her afterward?”

Well, since her body must have almost immediately been covered by a flood of mud in order to be fossilized, the tiger probably couldn’t find her :)

I almost died falling out of a tree. Early one morning in November about 40 years ago. I didn’t get a buck that year.

I was lucky to...never mind.

5.56mm

This has puzzled me for years, people as a whole do not mirror the theory.

Lucy was a chimpanzee about 3 and a half feet tall. There are the merest handful of bones. It’s silly that people refer to this as human.

She was startled by Carlos Danger.

She was probably discovered to be a lesbian and then thrown from a building by the local muslims.

And, it's a joke, I don't need responses explaining the dichotomy of the evolutionary and historical timelines involved :-).

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.

Probably was texting or using a selfie stick while swinging from branch to branch.

Lucy just as likely was struck by the newly installed high speed rail locomotive coming around a bend.

I wonder if Ricky pushed her? He appears to be upset with her.

Likely fleeing a threat and had misstep and/or encountered weak limb.

Wouldn't that same threat have had a meal consisting of the dead Lucy? I don't recall reports of the bones having been gnawed upon.

Human ancestor? You know, evolution has to be the stupidest theory ever thought up.
