A Summary of the Scientific Evidence, Part Dos Nebraska Man Discovered by Henry Osborn in 1922 A single tooth found Used as proof of human evolution in 1925 correspondence prior to Scopes Trial A few more teeth were found in 1927 – They were attached to a pig’s jawbone!
A Summary of the Scientific Evidence, Part Dos Ramapithecus Discovered by G. E. Lewis in 1932 Partial jawbones and teeth Dated at 8,000,000 years old Originally thought to walk upright due to how the jaws were reconstructed Complete jawbone later found and proved the original reconstruction was incorrect Now considered a “false start” to the human race

A Summary of the Scientific Evidence, Part Dos Australopithecus Discovered by Raymond Dart in 1924 Most complete skeleton is Lucy (40% complete) Allegedly walked upright A multivariate analysis on Lucy proved that Lucy did NOT walk upright Wrist morphology matches that of apes Ear canal CAT scans showed that they did not habitually walk upright Most likely just a variety of Galada Baboon
