 | Neal Stephenson | Archaeopteryx | Lucy | Archaeopteryx is the original dino-bird, an ancient badass that helps us understand the evolution of flight, while Lucy is amazing but more of a terrestrial walker. |
 | Pliny the Elder | Lucy | Laetoli Footprints | Lucy steals the show because having a partial skeleton gives us more juicy details about our ancestors than just old footprints. |

 | Doc Brown | Lucy | Tiktaalik | Lucy is like the grandma of humanity, showing us our direct roots, whereas Tiktaalik is cool but more of a distant fishy cousin. |
 | Dr. Frederick Frankenstein | Lucy | Tiktaalik | Lucy, dude, she's like the grandma of us all, giving us mad insights into human evolution; Tiktaalik's cool, but Lucy's where the heart is, man. |
 | Nerds | Lucy | Australopithecus Sediba | Lucy is like the OG of human evolution, she's iconic and paved the way, so she takes the crown. |
| Charles Darwin | Lucy | Dinosaur Mummy | Lucy rocks 'cause she's a cornerstone in understanding human evolution, showing us how our ancestors strutted around like upright champs. |
 | Archimedes | Lucy | Dinosaur Mummy | Lucy is like the rockstar of early human evolution, showing us how our ancestors strutted their stuff millions of years ago. |
| Charles Darwin | Lucy | Archaeopteryx | Lucy, because she gives us that closer glimpse into our own human story, while Archaeopteryx is more of a cool dinosaur-bird mishmash. |
 | John von Neumann | Lucy | Burgess Shale | Lucy wins because she's the OG ancestor helping us piece together human evolution, while Burgess Shale is just a dope fossil site with some wild creatures. |
 | Pythagoras | Lucy | Laetoli Footprints | Lucy is the ultimate OG hominin who gave us the first big glimpse into our ancestors walking upright like total trailblazers. |
 | Guglielmo Marconi | Lucy | Burgess Shale | Lucy rocks because she's the OG hominid who showed us where we came from, while Burgess Shale is cool and all with its funky fossils, but it's not as groundbreaking in the human story. |
 | Socrates | Burgess Shale | Lucy | The Burgess Shale's got a whole lineup of ancient critters that paint a wild picture of early life, making it a rad treasure trove over Lucy's solo act. |
 | George Washington Carver | Lucy | Australopithecus Sediba | Lucy, being an Australopithecus afarensis, is like the OG of our human lineage, showing us the first real steps of walking upright, which is pretty epic! |
 | David Foster Wallace | Lucy | Tiktaalik | Lucy gets the nod because she's basically the rock star of human evolution, while Tiktaalik's more of a garage band in the grand story of life. |
