Is "Lucy" Really Our Ancestor? Geologist Dr. Christopher Rupe Makes a Stunning Case | Contested Bones
For decades, "Lucy" has been held up as the missing link between apes and humans. In this interview, geologist Dr. Christopher Rupe — co-author of Contested Bones — walks through over a decade of research into the primary fossil evidence, including a stunning specimen nicknamed "Big Man," that he argues overturns 50 years of paleoanthropological consensus and lines up with the biblical account of human origins. If you think that's an overstatement, we invite you to engage with the evidence in this video.
