Check Out This Hyper-Realistic Artist Rendering of Lucy [Science Minute]
Paleoartist Elisabeth Daynes has created one of the most striking depiction of Lucy (an Australopithecus). Check out this Bigfoot Evidence Science Minute for details:
Was Dr. Johnson Molested by a Bigfoot at SOHA?
Adam Davies visits Dr. Johnson at the SOHA base camp, and tries a new experiment to test the relationship Dr. Johnson has with his bigfoot friends. But how did it turn out?
Uno!!

That is a way more convincing face shot than Blinky!
ReplyDeleteLucy is an African so should be black. This trend of portraying Africans with negroid features as white-skinned is childish PC twaddle people need to grow up and out of.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid your "African = black" is childish PC twaddle that you need to grow up and out of. There was no "Africa," nor were there "black" humans, back then. The color of one's skin depends on the environment in which they live (over numerous generations of course). For instance, Chimpanzees have light-colored skin despite living closer to the equator. Humans with dark skin didn't come about until millions of years after Lucy lived. The change was in response to living in more open environments. Those who carried the gene for darker skin survived while those who didn't died off. It served as natural sun block. After humans started leaving what would later be named the continent of Africa and spread into colder climates, skin started to lighten. This allowed more vitamin D to be absorbed in areas, such as Europe, with less sun exposure.
DeleteLucy is yesterdays news. She is no longer regarded as an ancestral link to humans. Since the original bones were found, many more complete skeletons have been found. The consensus among the experts (at least in the texts) is that Lucy is a knuckle walking quadrupedal chimp, probably a pygmy chimp or bonobo. Move along folks, nothing to see here.
ReplyDeleteI think someone has been reading creationist literature.
DeleteNo, not at all. If you do the background reading on Lucy, all of the major anthropologists now acknowledge that Lucy was not a biped nor was she in the Homo lineage. She is an Australopithecene, an ape. Has nothing to do with creationist literature, it's about literature research in a library rather than internet sites.
DeleteMan, that guy has an annoying voice. Get someone else to do these videos.
