The framed hominid fossil 'Lucy,' is seen at a exhibition at the Ethiopian Natural History Museum in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2006. The 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton has left Ethiopia for a tour of the United States — a trip that some say is simply too risky for one of the world's most famous fossils.(AP Photo/Les Neuhaus)

officials are also considering the ethical issues that have been raised about exhibiting the Lucy remains. Enlighten us?

What’s the attraction of seeing another set of monkey bones?

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.

Or are you one who thinks there is simply nothing left to learn from them?

Nailed it. Square on the head.
Good luck and remember, you can teach but you cannot always educate.
Got to go. I am off the the Creation Museum to watch another episode of the Flintstones.

Lucy will now become rival Barbie in sophistication. Travel broadens the mind.

Don't pay any attention to them unless they're seeking to regain complete power over others.

No, no, no...This is meant to inflame...
You're quite right, Lucy the Australopithecine
wasn't a monkey...err...quite. ;9

Lucy, like human beings and the species closest to humans in DNA homology and anatomic morphology, was an ape.

Please inject something humerus.
A femur is as low as I'll go. Don't shin humour.

You don't agree? Bring it on. Talus what you got!

A femur is as low as I'll go. Then we don't need to worry about you being as ankle biter, and you'll never be as funny as Dick Morris if you won't do tarsals.
