It was a peculiar situation that Sue was sold at auction at all, the result of legal battles over ownership. For academic paleontologists, the rules of the expedition set out ownership. In Lucy's case, there was a signed agreement that the fossils of that expedition would be returned to the nation of Ethiopia after 5 years of study outside the country.

Lucy is a national treasure and is not for sale at any price. What would the price be if she came up for auction? The sky's the limit.
Lucy has ape like skull and shoulder blade like gorilla. If it looks, walks like ape its ape! nobody is gonna pay money for ape bones. :clap:

Is there any doubt Sue walked this earth?
How would there be doubt? Is there a faction of society that doubts dinosaurs existed?

I love dinosaur fossil displays at natural history museums. Fascinating stuff. Not that many years ago a baby woolly mammoth was found in tact. We're so blessed to find those pieces of ancient history.

"Sue the T-Rex"

So - how much are we suing the T-rex for; and how do we plan to collect?
That was my thought upon reading the title; I though how can a skeleton be charged in legal council. :doh:

Sue is a beautiful T-Rex fossil, 90% complete, that was bought by chicago museum for $8.4 million in 1997. How much is Lucy and homo naledi at auction price?
Sue the t-rex is the real deal. Lucy & homo naledi is fake, man made garbage.

The funny part is that creationists will claim that they use the same evidence. Apparently, they don't. Any evidence they don't like they ignore by making false accusations against scientists they don't even know.

Except when you look at her hips you can see she didn't walk like an ape. :)

So Lucy was a fake created by evil atheist scientists to trick people into believing evolution - but the skeleton was just an ape and isn't evidence of evolution?

I think I sense a contradiction here...
Lucy herself is a contradiction.

She has a smaller skull, with bipedal hips.

To get around this contradiction, Lucyferans say she demonstrates bipedalism came before increase in brain size.
