A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY COLD CASE

By Bob Walsh

Forensic scientists have just finished a detailed post-mortem examination of Lucy, a proto-human who died in Africa about 3.2 million years ago.

Those scientists have concluded that Lucy probably bit the dust as the result of a fall from a fairly tall tree.

Lucy’s remains were discovered in 1974 in what is now central Ethiopia.

I wonder if her family member-survivors will try to sue the survivors of the owners of the tree? (Probably not. The tree probably didn’t have an owner. I don’t think that real estate ownership was an issue back then. Plus lineage would be hard to determine.)
