While we are at it, did any one see the Nova special a few years ago
about Johanson's finding of "Lucy?" My husband and I were watching
that show and learned some interesting things:
1) Lucy was not found all of a piece. She was found scattered
throughout the tundra--something like over a mile or more. She was
found in a ravine where other bones had washed down.
2) When Johanson tried to put the bones together they did not fit.
Why did they not fit? Brainstorm: must have been crushed under
tons of rocks for years and years--took both leg bones to his shop
and "sawed" them to make them fit. Did this right on public TV.
Must be a form of self-deception--didn't try to hide it at all. Gave
"saw bones" a new meaning.
You've got n ape-woman alright. Ape bones and human bones all put
together in some sort of weird conglomeration--and you call this
science! It takes a lot of faith to believe this junk. There was a
time when I thought "Lucy" was found in proximity, all
together--maybe not as neatly as the petrified folks at Pompeii, but
I thought at least there was this creature whose bones, while maybe
not exactly together, were at least in a logical proximity to one
another--huh! But it is amazing when one wants to find something so
badly either for love of his work or for career motiviations all
things are possible, but could we apply some reason here?
