So if she could run better... Maybe she’d still be alive? I think not.

Lucy is not “our” ancestor. Ridiculous fraud.

Those long arms she had allowed her to jerk that football away when Charlie tried to kick it....

I’ve heard about “Lucy” for 30-40years or whatever. Then in a museum I saw a replica of the bones they found and a taxidermy reconstruction.

I walked in the room with the sacred display, and was looking at a 3 foot tall chimpanzee. What a scam. Never again...

That skeleton doesn't swing his arms.

lucy was a monkey, not a missing link.

I prefer Lucy Mcgillicuddy.

I don't think that early humans needed to run from much since They were much more powerful than modern humans. The hair on a chimpanzee hides how truly powerful they are. Take a look at this picture of a hairless chimpanzee named Mongo.

All that muscle and not a gym in sight. That is just normal, chimp muscle mass.

Studies have determined that chimpanzee muscle exceeds human muscle in maximum dynamic force and power output by ∼1.35 times due to having a greater proportion of fast twitch muscle fibers than humans. Furthermore, the way great apes' muscles are attached to their bones by tendons, being further from the joint for greater mechanical leverage (at the cost of finer control) increases their strength as well.

An 80 pound chimp could easily destroy a 250 pound MMA fighter and then eat his face for spite.

Lucy is a fiction made of up of unrelated parts.

[TheBattman]

Many years after the entire “Lucy” fraud being debunked, there are still “scientists” pretending Lucy represents a missing link in human “evolution”... Yet another reminder of how corrupt and untrustworthy “science” can be.

And all this “Lucy” physiology... from a part of a skull... LOL

Jimmy the Greek was right; they have an extra bone in their foot!

[llevrok]

Lucy was bad at holding a football for a kicker too.
But I digress.....

Human ancestor? In other words, “Blah, blah, blah.”

[dadfly]

Don Johanson’s hoax lives on. boy, 50+ years, paleontology truly is ‘money for nothin and your chicks for free.’

[mware]

She ran like a girl?

[BobL]

As long as she could outrun Mr. Lucy and those who came after, she was in store for a long life.

[jmcenanly]

Modern apes have the same problem.
