Lucy - the tour

The fossilised remains of an example of Australopithecus afarensi, affectionately known as Lucy, have been approved to tour American museums for the first time over the objections of the Smithsonian Institute that the fossils are too fragile to tour. Unfortunately, due to scheduling difficulties, the remains are not going to be seen at the splendid new Creation Museum where she was to be displayed washing her pet dinosaur and playing with Cain and Abel. I am certain that all of the vistors to the Kentucky attraction will be bitterly disappointed.
