Say hello to “Lucy” who is also known by her scientific name Austrolopithicus aferensis. (Latin: “Southern ape from Afar“) 
For many years this fragmented skeleton and other australopithecines have served as the greatest proof for the link between humans today and our ape like ancestors, but what can we learn from Lucy?
1. It died
2. Lucy wasfound by Donald Johanson and colleagues, who, in celebration of their find, repeatedly played the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
3. LSD = Lucy in the sky with diamonds
How fossil bones are interpreted depends on the worldview of the researcher. The theory of human evolution requires one or more missing links, so in the post-Darwin era many candidates have been put forward. Not one has stood the test of honest, rigorous investigation, as all have turned out to be from either an extinct ape or an extinct human. The fossil evidence does not compel belief in the existence of apemen, nor that man is the product of evolution. Man was directly created by God and in the likeness of God, not in the likeness of an ape.
The following book is written in light of a creationist worldview. It is an insightful look into the so called “fossil record” and the reliability of sources throughout history, exposing the many fraudulent claims of archaelogical findings.
An interesting finding is that a very large portion of all original paleo anthropological fossils are hidden under lock and key and are not accessible by anyone in order to study them. Many have been copied and made into casts but often do not offer the same information as the original.
