122 CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS

Bill Jungers, from Stony Brook University in New York, said that the

fossil in question had nothing whatever to do with the description Homo
habilis and referred to it as another perfect simian.
In a report in Nature News, Michael Cherry said:
But the researchers' suggestion that the fossils represent a transitional
species in human evolution, sitting between Australopithecus and Homo
species, has been criticized by other researchers as overstated. 312
One of the supporters of Lee Berger, who examined the fossil, said:
The Malapa specimens will rekindle the debate about the validity of the
taxon Homo habilis. 313

Evolutionists' Confessions Regarding "Lucy"
During the course of research in Ethiopia's Hadar Desert in 1974, a

25% intact hominid skeleton estimated to be 3 million years old was dis-
covered and was given the nickname "Lucy." This skeleton, which evolu-
tionists claimed was of a forerunner of present-day man, was 1.20 meters
high and had a skull volume of 410 cubic centimeters, which is very small,
even by the standard of present-day apes.

Although evolutionists were perfectly well aware that Lucy was
nothing more than an extinct form of ape, they ignored all her ape-like
characteristics for the sake of the role as the ancestor of man that they had
ascribed to her.
The fact is, however, that some Darwinists and Darwinist publica-

tions were forced to admit that this creature was nothing more than a
monkey. The prestigious French scientific journal Science et Vie adopted
Lucy as its cover story in May 1999. The report, titled "Adieu Lucy," stated
that apes from the species Australopithecus should be removed from the
human family tree.

Evolutionist scientists admitting that Lucy did not constitute evi-
dence for the supposed evolution of man issued these statements.
