I use that term, marchen, because, as Henry Gee said, it is the narrative story that is being offered up as science but isn't. Science isn't history.

And even more guess work is the inference of behavior from a few bones. Ardi preferred males with small teeth, Ardi stood upright to see over the grass...or climb on jungle limbs or squat down to turn rocks over or Ardi just wanted a hug from her ape man.

So is Lucy with the plaster skull or Ardi the other woman an ancestor of humans?

Welllll noooooo. Not directly, they share a common ancestor with man we're told. What does that mean? According to Darwinists every single organism alive today shares a common ancestor.

Reconstruction? Ardi and Joan Rivers have a lot in common.

The only definitive statements made were that they found some badly crushed bones that were very fragile and they had a hard time putting them back together and they were missing some key pieces of the skeleton.

That may have given them some information about the creature’s method of locomotion, but beyond that?

Guesswork is about right.
