This is mere fodder for the people who have no idea what they are discussing but are dying to pull out the Darwin boogey man.
Indeed. The presence of australopithocine, a fully bipedal primate with the brain the size of a chimp, is itself a powerful testament to the evolution of primates and the change from knuckle walking to bipedalism. It really doesn’t matter one bit if Lucy is a human ancestor or the start of a branch that died out for the evidence of Australopithocine to show that apes were changing and evolving at a time when there were no human beings.
Exactly.
I've seen Darwin boogey, and it's much, much less than Saturday Night Fever, FRiend! ;-P
Now, what was the topic again?!? /sarc
