Lucy’s Feet

Part of the excitement surrounding this new discovery is due to the fact that no foot bones had ever been found for Lucy until now (note the photo of the famous original find by Donald Johannsen--a 40% complete skeleton without any foot bones). However, having no bones did not deter many evolutionists from claiming that Lucy had humanlike feet. On what basis you may ask? Their claim is based on fossil footprints found ~1000 miles away in Tanzania--the famous Laetoli prints. These footprints would be considered human (and are by creationists) by any "uninformed" observer, however, since evolutionists date the Laetoli prints to be 3.6 million years old, they de facto refuse to assign them to Man. Coincidentally, though the Lucy fossils found in 1974 by Johannsen were originally determined to be close to 2 million years old, based on radiometric measurements, the determined age was changed to the 3+ million year range of the Laetoli prints found 4 years later. Then Lucy was credited with making those prints with her humanlike feet!
