Lucy could walk upright as well as you or I can but her brain was no larger
than that of a chimp and it would be more than a million years before even
the simplest tools show up in the fossil record, nor is there any evidence
that she engaged in hunting, if she did it must have been for something like
mice. I think Lucy was a very long way from being top predator, when she
stood up she was just telling those who were what's on the menu.
