"FAREWELL LUCY!"
Scientific findings countered the
evolutionist propositions on "Lucy", the
most famous specimen of the
Australopithecus species. The well-known
French science journal, Science et Vie,
admitted this fact in its February 1999
issue with the headline "Farewell Lucy"
(Adieu Lucy) and the statement that
Australopithecus could not be considered
the ancestor of man.
evolutionist himself – that Australopithecines were only an ordinary ape species
and were definitely not bipedal. 48 Correspondingly, Oxnard, who is also an
evolutionist, also likened the skeletal structure of Australopithecus to that of
modern orang-utans. 49
The detailed analyses conducted by the American anthropologist Holly Smith in
1994 on the teeth of Australopithecus indicated that Australopithecus was an ape
species. 50
Within the same year, Fred Spoor, Bernard Wood and Frans Zonneveld, all
specialists on anatomy, reached the same conclusion through a totally different
method. This method was based on the comparative analysis of the semi-circular
canals in the inner ear of humans and apes which provided for sustaining balance.
The inner ear canals of all Australopithecus specimens analysed by Spoor, Wood and
Zonneveld were the same as those of modern apes. 51 This finding once more
showed that the Australopithecus species is a species similar to modern apes.
AUSTRALOPITHECUS AND CHIMPANZEE
The skull of the Australopithecus aferensis and that of
the modern chimpanzee are very similar to each
other. This similarity verifies that creatures falling
into the Australopithecus classification are an ape
species that have nothing to do with humans.
