Leakey has been quoted as saying "the Australopithecines were long-armed short-legged knuckle-walkers, similar to existing African apes".

What do I think?

Creationist Arguments: Australopithecines.

Even in 1970, Zuckerman's views had long since been largely abandoned. In what is obviously a fabrication, Willis says that Leakey "referred to Lucy as an ape who did not walk upright", three years before Lucy was discovered. Leakey was merely making a suggestion (about robust australopithecines) which he soon retracted, not stating a firm opinion, and he has since stated (1994) that Lucy "undoubtedly was a biped".
So we've established that you're the one with the hoax here. Now the only questions are what did you know, when did you know it, and will you acknowledge or do the usual creationist perfuming of the pasture pie?
