Lucy,
from
Ethiopia, is the
most complete skele-
ton of Australopithecus
discovered so far. By looking at
some of these bones unearthed, evolu-
tionists claimed that Australopithecus walked
on two legs, for which reason it must have been the
ancestor of man. Based on this claim, they produced many
drawings falsely presenting Australopithecus as an intermedi-
ate species between ape and man. The fact is, however, that much
research into Australopithecus has revealed that it was a species of
ape which did not walk in the same way as man at all.

Chimpanzees Which Walk on Two Legs

Invalidate the Evolutionists' Claims

As well as this research into Australopithecus, there is another
discovery which has overturned the claim that walking on two legs
was an evolutionary phase. Certain apes in our own time are capa-
ble of walking upright. According to a study by Dr. Robin
Crompton of Liverpool University, published in The Scotsman under
the title "Chimps on two legs run through Darwin's theory," chim-
panzees living in the Bwindi region of Uganda also possess the abil-
ity to stand on two legs. The article states that this opposes the evo-
lutionists' assumptions:
This means that the accepted idea of apes on the ground gradually
evolving to an upright stance from a crouched position is wrong. 5
