An older guy has sauntered into Lucy’s life, and some researchers believe he stands ready to recast much of what scientists know about the celebrated early hominid and her species.
Excavations in Ethiopia’s Afar region have uncovered a 3.6-million-year-old partial male skeleton of the species Australopithecus afarensis. This is the first time since the excavation of Lucy in 1974 that paleoanthropologists have turned up more than isolated pieces of an adult from the species, which lived in East Africa from about 4 million to 3 million years ago.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

“An older guy has sauntered into Lucy’s life”
That is a re-occurring line from an old US TV show called “I Love Lucy”
Her various schemes were always falling apart and that was her husbands line when he found out about them.

Re: Lucy!!!!!
Emphasizing the partial "skeleton" not the partial "male."
You remember what Ish said about the way these stories are edited.

The syntax used means "partially male", not "partial skeleton".Minimalist wrote:Emphasizing the partial "skeleton" not the partial "male."
It'd be nice if they used proper English syntax.

Where'd you pull that from RS? It reads perfectly and obviously as partial skeleton.Rokcet Scientist wrote:The syntax used means "partially male", not "partial skeleton".Minimalist wrote:Emphasizing the partial "skeleton" not the partial "male."
