"Why are you presenting this quote as though it means something?"

Well, it does illustrate the way paleos are always changing their mind (after further study) and re-classifying or re-labeling or re-visiting the claims they had made years ago, usually in well-attended press conferences. That's poor planning, because you can only cry "wolf" so often.

Except that Leakey was referring to something other than the species to which Lucy belonged. So you present a quote from Leakey on one species and ask a question about another. Why do you think that Leakey's quote has any relevance?

Possible addition to your new "Troll Toolkit"

To shorten it, maybe "Your theories keep changing"

Might fit

To Liberty:

Science is supposed to change; theories are corrected, extended, or sometimes even tossed out entirely, as new data is brought to bear. To not do so would violate the scientific method. For you to criticize science for following its stated method is neither a very logical nor a very productive argument.
