—In what way is it a “replacement”? This seems to be a bizarre, but common, misunderstanding from a number of Creationist sources. I haven’t seen any scientists claiming that Lucy isn’t an ancestor just because Ardi may be. It’s not as if they are in competition.

Uhhh, that’s exactly what’s going on...shift and confiscate the science money from one fraud to another. SO of course they’re not in competition. Lucy’s done her job.

It’s supposed to be Ardi’s turn now.

“This find is far more important than Lucy,” said Alan Walker, a paleontologist from Pennsylvania State University who was not part of the research. “It shows that the last common ancestor with chimps didn't look like a chimp, or a human, or some funny thing in between.”

Closet creationist no doubt. But that last line IS good, if RDy didn't look like “some thing in between” chimps and humans, what exactly does it look like?
