How do scientists know that Lucy is a pre-homo sapiens species, or early human, not a now extinct species of monkey?
I have a question. How do scientists know that Lucy is a pre-homo sapiens species, or early human, not a now extinct species of monkey?
Scientists have determined that Lucy is not a monkey based on characteristics of her skeleton, such as the upright shape of her pelvis and the angles of her knee and ankle joints.
