Yes, and both of them certified that Lucy was a human but were later proved wrong by the French, Lucy was a Chimpazee and nothing more. Leakey was wrong on many things, he wanted to be right so bad and to find the "missing link" so bad he falsified and lied about information.
I'm sure the scientific community will be stunned and impressed with your conclusions.
By the way, I've seen Lucy, and she doesn't look like a chimpanzee to me. Not much taller though.
She would have been lousy at basketball.

Lucy was discovered in 1974 by Donald Johanson. Meave Leakey had no role in that whatsoever. You must be thinking of Mary Leakey, wife of Louis Leakey? She suggested that Lucy belonged to genus Homo. (Genus Homo and modern humans are not the same things.)
And your claim that Lucy was nothing more than a chimpanzee is not borne out by the studies that have been conducted. Lucy has a mix of modern and ancient traits, and does fit somewhere between chimpanzee and modern humans.
Perhaps before you lecture us on evolution and the details and personalities involved in these studies, you could learn a little more about them first?
