evolution----lucy?
Hi everyone. I've got a quick question reguarding evolution. One of my friends who is agnostic seems bent on believing in evolution and that its the key to our existence. Being Christian I've given her my standpoint and tried to "persuade" her to see the problems with believing in evolution so strongly. A while back we got in our own little "debate" and she began talking about some animal, I believe it was an ape named Lucy. She told me that it had both the body of ape and human in some weird mutation. And that it was the key evidence to proving evolution. I tried to find sources on this but I haven't been able to. Does anyone know about this Lucy thing? And if anyone does, could you please give me your incite on it so I could discuss it with her again? Thanks.

Kurieuo.Dr. Lee Berger stated, "One might say we are kicking Lucy out of the family tree." (Shreeve, J. 1996. New skeleton gives path from trees to ground an odd turn. Science 272: 654).
