But we forget that and remember instead Allen's head filling the screen next to an ape's skull. He rants about the decline of morality to Murphy, then points to the simian and says, "In a few years we'll be like him--and he was probably one of the beautiful people...

Even before Johanson assembled Lucy's remaining bones, he could see that she had been bipedal: the clue was a telltale knee joint. In addition, Lucy's tiny skull suggested a brain too small to place her among previously discovered toolmaking hominids.
