“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.”

I don’t think that matters or is important to them.

At least not nearly important as the money...and perpetuating the fraud.
