monkey walk about 100 feet on his back legs. He was just cruising along and seemed verypleased with himself! A macaque monkey at the Israel Zoo walks upright much of the time. Apescan walk upright, but they aren’t designed to do it comfortably and naturally like a man does;they are more comfortable climbing trees. The mountain gorilla from Zaire has an arm-legproportion closer to humans than other apes and “a young gorilla can rear up and walk in ahuman way, resting on the sole of its foot rather than the side” (Michael Pitman, Adam andEvolution, p. 242).When it comes to Lucy’s hands, all authorities agree that they were ape-like, and as for her feet,Dr. Randall Susman and Dr. Jack Stern of the State University of New York at Stony Brook,described them as “showing a retention of grasping tendencies with long and curveddigits” (New York Times, Aug. 29, 2009).Why would Lucy “evolve” upright walking?Michael Pitman, who taught biology at Cambridge University, makes the following importantobservation:“But if a group of them decided to swing down from the trees and become meat-eating Homo erectus on theplain, upright gait would be the last thing they would want. Their first efforts would give them an uncomfortableshort-stretch roll, and a slow one at that. Man walks about as fast as a chicken; he runs upright at 12 m.p.h.while the patas monkey can run two-and-a-half times as fast. Indeed, the new man would have been aboutthe slowest mammal on the savannah; rolling like a boat in high seas and still wearing that tinychimpish head, he’d have had little chance in the survival stakes” (Adam and Evolution, p. 249).Lucy Art: Perpetrating a mythArtistic reconstructions typically depict Lucy with human hands, walking uprightly in a purelyhuman manner on human feet, and typically with human-proportioned arms and legs. This is truefor the models and drawings that I have seen personally at the Museum of Natural History inNew York City, the American Museum of Natural Sciences in Washington D.C., the BritishMuseum of Natural History, the Field Museum in Chicago, Yale University’s Peabody Museum,the Museum of Man in San Diego, the St. Louis Zoo, and the natural history museum atMichigan State University Ann Arbor.These reconstructions are not scientific; they are brainwashing tools.Dr. David Menton complained to the St. Louis Zoo about their Lucy exhibit, but his protestswere rebuffed. Menton, who has a Ph.D. in cell biology from Brown University, said: “I think thezoo owes it to all the people who helped pay for that exhibit to give (Lucy) an honestpresentation.” But Bruce Carr, the zoo’s director of education, said they had no plans to changethe exhibit. “What we look at is the overall exhibit and the impression it creates. We think thatthe overall impression this exhibit creates is correct” (Creation Ex Nihilo, Volume 19 Number 1,Dec 1996 - Feb. 1997).254
In fact, the overall impression that this Lucy model creates is that Australopithecus was an apeman,a creature that had some ape-like features but walked erect like a man and had humanhands and feet. This is a false impression that is contradicted by the evidence, but it is exactly theimpression that they desire to give in these “reconstructions.”SUMMARY OF THE EVIDENCE AGAINST LUCY AS AN ICON FOR EVOLUTION1. It is impossible to prove scientifically that one type of extinct creature had any sort ofevolutionary connection with another.2. The idea that Lucy walked upright is unproven scientifically and there are many scientists whodisbelieve it.3. The reconstructions of Lucy in textbooks and museums are not based on science but on myth.Forgetting for a moment the controversy surrounding Lucy’s gait, the fossil record proves thatLucy did not have human hands and feet or human-proportioned arms and legs.REVIEW QUESTIONS ON LUCY1. What is Lucy? What is her evolutionary family name?2. Where was the Lucy fossil discovered?3. How did Lucy get her name?4. The ability to walk uprightly is called what?5. What happened to Solly Zuckerman after he went against the evolutionary party line?6. Susman and Stern said that Lucy’s hands and feet are _________ and ___________.7. Russell Tuttle points to Lucy’s __________ fingers and toes.8. Charles Oxnard said that the australopithecines are “irrevocably removed from a place in theevolution of human _________________.”9. Oxnard also said Australopithecus’ “big toe stuck out as in _________________.”10. Jack Stern says Lucy “walked ____________,” not like “_______________.”11. Erik Stokstad said Lucy had the morphology that was classic for ____________ walkers.12. What conclusion did a reporter reach at a gathering of anthropologists in 2009 that provesthat there is no consensus as to whether Lucy walked uprightly?13. What advantage would a clumsy “new walker” have over a monkey?14. What is mythical about the standard reconstructions of Lucy?THE LAETOLI FOOTPRINTSMost prominent natural history museums feature a model or photo of the Laetoli footprints thatpurport to prove that evolving apes walked upright “in a human manner” over a million yearsago.255
