They're getting proteins out of early hominid fossils!? OMG. How long before they find some fragment of DNA? Maybe we could clone one.

Tell me you've researched nothing and lack critical thinking skills without telling me.

I'm fascinated. How do the bones just appear on the surface? You'd think they'd be buried under years of soils. Genuinely curious

Human beings never came from primates.Nowhere does Jesus say that he came from a primate and when he was resurrected he actually had a different looking fleshly body because he never was flesh.He was a spirit.When a spirit comes to this universe it uses a fleshly body as a vehicle,Jesus was never suppose to identify to his fleshly body and he did not. Because he was a spirit.Adam and Eve made a mistake and identified with their fleshly body which has led to the mess human beings are in today.They slare mixed up they think they are flesh but they are not ,they were made in the image of a Spirit.

Is this Lucy the Hoax, the one with made up parts along with legitimate parts?

Almost seems like all these symptoms could actually be from EMF. Read up on it.

I do not miss that thick and dark fur, unlike how light and fine it now is. I do not miss being that petite. I do not miss the forward-facing nostrils. I do not miss that smaller brain. But I *_DO_* wish that I had Lucy's fabulous cheekbones!

I think this is extreme disrespect! That’s all I will say

Please note that lucy has dark hair/fur which makes her look black but underneath that black shes Caucasian... Where's all African.

I love the way the subject has grown since the 70s Our understanding of human evolution has advanced by leaps and bounds and I so envy younger people coming in to the science now.

Vegan teacher has been real quiet since this dropped

Too long winded and chatty and too little information, not at all systematically presented. I'm not interested in listening to you all blow your horns with egomaniacal stories about your findings. I wanted a systematic presentation of the earliest hominids. I can't even follow this.

My mother was a mudder. My father was a mudder. . .

*Has the possibility of these species being our cousins, rather than direct ancestors, been considered?* Maybe we’re on different branches.

Except lucy is fake and never exist and the original bones was actually a oig or something related to a pig

Orangutans are the most human like apes, in my opinion.

Missing 90% of the skeleton.. "look we came from monkeys"

From the face of evolutionists you can tell they are fooling around...

Amazing how the artist was able to conclude Lucy had human feet when no foot bones were found. The problems with with using Lucy as evidence for evolution grow in number with time. Read, Bones of Contention Controversies in the Search for Human Origins.

We still can’t forgive BBC for falsely portraying cheddar man as black, despite 0 evidence

i can remember scouring my high school library for all of the books they had on human evolution >20 years ago & i am absolutely astonished at how much more we know today

She's beautiful

Humans were created.

DNA certainly didn't program itself simultaneously with the molecular machines to proofread, repair, and copy it. You have nothing to evolve from. Evolution is a science fiction cult. A well financed PT Barnum show.

Right On Great Video

Wow! This is awesome! Thank you for informing us non-scientist but very curious people!!!!!!

They are already mated, I thought this video would show the act, not the end result... seen tons of pics of them already mated, nothing new here.

We must honor Lucy. we are Humans. Lucy is an early Part of Homo - of Humanity. Lucy is a mother of us all.

There is no evidence that we derived from apes. It's speculation. This Lucy story is the biggest lie that scientists force on people even though they have no proof that we evolved from any other species. And if this theory is true, it means some day we will evolve into something else !!!!

I remember reading about Lucy in National Geographic. I was a teenager!

This Lucy business and monkey business is very interesting. You cannot hundred percent prove it, and you cannot disapprove it. Therefore, this, my intelligent dream, I make the decision if I develop from a monkey war from what.

I'll never believe we derived from apes. They can prove it or they can tell us the truth.

The title/thumbnail is a little click-baity. Any amateur who actually reads popular science books will know that Lucy (and more broadly, Lucy's people) is probably not our "mother", but more like an aunt. That is true for any extinct species that we think of as an ancestor - whether Lucy, Tiktaalik, or Pikaia.

......wrong, lucy may or may not be related to our species at all; that is merely an hypothesis. It is to be expected that the bush fro that period will continue to get bushier and that we will never really know which species bred with which other species older and newer to eventually lead to humans........the rest is merely hubris, speculation, imagination garnished with arrogance.

I don’t think creationists deserve a voice.

We did not come from monkeys 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Please, theory is NOT fact.

We still have people in New Zealand who are ancestors of this … common links.

😂😂😂😂😂

Great video, however not including Homo Naledi in the discussion was a glaring omission

I love that African archaeologists, anthropologists, and other people in the related fields are finally leading excavations and research on the finds in their backyards, so to speak. It's absolutely fascinating, all the species that have come and gone from the primate family tree and what we can learn now from the tiniest samples of their teeth or burial soil.

..it's strange that the more primitive have survived the more advanced species...I mean all of these in between species that were more advanced than apes are extinct doesn't that seem strange???

0:00 Haha i love how narrator woman's last name is Gibbons like the ape, it's fits well the subject of the video about Lucy who is our ape-looking hominin ancestor

Want to study any form of Human ancestor in real time? Just go to Florida.

You have your mother's eyes.

I said, to my late partner, over ten years ago, "you know, the next ten years will reveal a plethora of human ancestors that I would estimate to go back around 10 million years to our first common ancestor! The start of a golden age of simeons, so to speak"! Time has rewarded me, thank you to all those who spend time and effort in this fascinating field!

Its a amazing how a skeleton was lying there untouched for three million years…

I didn't came from a money I come from a rib!

Seems like modern man is the love child of all these earlier genuses and species.

If we are made in gods image then that would mean he is an ape. Me King Kong in the movies must be god right I mean he is the strongest and biggest ape.

The use of the word "primitive" to discuss fossils older than Lucy is problematic. Also, of course there were intermediate forms between "species" like Lucy and earlier hominids. One thing evolves into another the boxes are in a way human inventions that crystalize one moment in a continuous process.
