Here is an image of Professor Ronald Clarke posing here with the skull of StW 573 Australopithecus.
What makes you think this is a transitional human ancestor fossil? Is this your best example of darwinian evolution?
The other Australopithecus that you mentioned (LUCY), has Non-Upright Walking Chimp-like Features:
Things evolutionists downplay or simply don't share with the museum-going public about LUCY:
Lucy had:
- "locking wrists" for knuckle-walking
- an inner ear, for balance, oriented like knuckle-walking chimps
- the skull attachment for the inner ear like knuckle-walking chimps
- curved hands surprisingly (to some) similar to tree-climbing chimps
- long and curved toe bones, even by ape standards
- a sloping chimp-like face fronting a chimp-sized brain
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck .... what makes you think its not an ape?
Evolutionists seem to march to the beat of a different drum than the rest of us. For some of them, if it doesn't walk like a duck.... they just fix it with a power saw until it does. You can't make this stuff up:
