What about the chances of this 1 to 3 ratio to be a one and only?
What's up with Lucy?
quote:
Creationists, on the other hand, believe Lucy has been misinterpreted. They insist that Lucy was just another ape, and that her species was almost identical to the chimpanzees of today. Although they agree that Lucy may have walked upright now and then, they point out that modern chimpanzees are also capable of an occasional upright stroll. Creationists emphasize the ape-like features of Australopithecus afarensis. They feel there is little or no evidence that the species was a product of evolution.
I found this at http://www.geocities.com/thenorthtower/lucypage.html
The website owner maintains that Lucy is a matter of opinion. Rather than a straight piece of evidence.
These "hominids" look like indirect evidence, the 1 to 3 ratio looks edgy, could be argued as a type of monkey/chimp/orangatang, etc...

No, in fact there are now over 20 examples of Australopithecus afarensis IIRC.

about 300 separate individuals have been found since 1973.
Maybe more?
The evidence can be faulty though, considering modern Chimps.
