	Author: James Lippard (lippard@ccit.arizona.edu) Title: Lucy's knee joint: How creationist
		The question was not how far away from Lucy her own knee joint was found, but rather how far away from Lucy was the knee joint Johanson found the year before he discovered Lucy.
		The discoveries of both the original knee joint (1973) and Lucy (1974) are described in detail--including the locations of the finds--in Donald C. Johanson and Maitland E. Edey, _Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind_ (1981) and in the articles in the April 1982 issue of the _American Journal of Physical Anthropology_.
		Johanson has always been clear about the fact that his 1973 knee joint was a separate find from Lucy.

	Lucy's Knee Joint Revisited
		Johanson replied that the knee-joint was found "60-70 metres lower in the strata, and 2-3 kilometres away." When asked, "Then why are you so sure it [the knee-joint] belonged to Lucy?" Johanson answered, "Anatomical similarity." (Tom Willis, " 'Lucy' Goes to College", CSA News, Cleveland MO, February 1987).
		The discoveries and locations of both the original knee joint (1973) and Lucy (1974) are described in Donald C. Johanson and Maitland E. Edey, Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind (1981) and in the April 1982 issue of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
		Johanson argues that the original knee-joint is of the same species as Lucy [australopithecus afarensis] because of anatomical similarity, and points to it as one of several evidences to claim that these creatures walked upright.]
