L Lucy: This fossil, discovered in Africa in 1974,
was widely esteemed by evolutionists and was
the subject of some of the most intensive spec-
ulation. Recently however, it has been revealed
that Lucy (A. afarensis) had an anatomy ideally
suited to climbing trees and was no different
from other apes we are familiar with. (6) The
French scientific journal Science et Vie covered
the story in 1999 under the headline “Adieu,
Lucy.” One study, performed in 2000, discov-
ered a locking system in Lucy’s forearms ena-
bling it to walk using the knuckles, in the same
way as modern-day chimps. (7)

In the face of all these findings, many evolution-
ist experts declared that Lucy could not have
DECLASSIFIED been a forerunner of man. (8)

R Ramapithecus: A partial jawbone, consist-
ing of two parts, was discovered by G.E.
Lewis in India in the 1930s. Based on these
two jaw bone fragments, claimed to be 14
million years old, evolutionists reconstructed
Ramapithecus’s family and supposed natural
habitat (at side). For fifty years, the fossil was
portrayed as an ancestor of Man but follow-
ing the results of a 1981 anatomical compar-
DECLASSIFIED ison with a baboon skeleton, evolutionists
IN 1981 were forced to quietly set it aside. (9)
