Nothing is misclassified about Lucy, she is an australopithocine. But again if you rely upon creationist sources you will be misinformed; because creationists misrepresent science out of necessity.
A theory in science is accepted provisionally, awaiting contradictory data to change and adjust. It is only small minded creationist who think that anything that contradicts their “FINAL WORD” must also be claiming to be the “FINAL WORD” but again, it just shows how ignorant creationists are about science, its findings, and its methodology.
Science has an unparalleled track record of being accurate in its findings and predictions about the physical world. Theological musings about how reality SHOULD be constructed based upon scripture.... not so much. Such thinking leads to Geocentrism and hydroplaning continents and other such lunacy.
Lucy has been totlaly discredited; yet Evo's still use it.
