Excuse me? You've accused me of being
1. An atheist
2. A liberal
3. A nutjob libertarian
On what grounds? I'm not sure, but you're the only one libelling people here. I'm not attacking your faith, I'm just attacking you, for rank dishonesty and for the perpetuation of stupid strawmen (i.e. evolution = atheism).
Oh, and Lucy wasn't human.
Correct and non-controversial. Nobody suggests that Lucy was anything other than A. africanus.
Lucy was a monkey.
Thanks for playing boy, but you got that one wrong. Monkeys are Cercopithecidines (old world) or Platyrrhines (new world), and I don't know of morphological evidence that suggests that Lucy isn't Hominidae in good standing. But perhaps you could enlighten me (or not).
I clearly need another cup of coffee. Lucy is A. afarensis, of course, not A. africanus.
Oh, and I'm still waiting on the mosaic of plattyrhine features you suggest she has.
It has been proven that Lucy was a well traind pick pocket.
