Which of the following statements about the recent discovery of the world's oldest child, dubbed "Lucy's Baby," is FALSE?

B. The fossil supports the theory that Au. afarensis walked upright on two legs but still retained an apelike upper body, including two complete shoulder blades similar to a gorilla's, so it could have been better at climbing than are humans.
C. Her remains, which are amazingly complete, include a remarkably well-preserved skull, baby teeth, tiny fingers, a torso, a foot, and a kneecap.
D. She is a member of Au. afarensis.
