This story is about a primate called Lucy and her life. Lucy was taken away from primates and socialized around humans where Lucy and her owners go through diversity to try and figure out where she belongs. In this story Lucy is taught how to live with a family where she learns how to act like a human causing her to begins to diverge from her original species.

Lucy is human in the way of her being able to communicate through a language, being attracted to humans, she eat human food, she can name things, Lucy could lie, and she was socialized into a human life/rules. Lucy was socialized to be like a human she became a bridge to a new species. Because of this Lucy undergone a long and life threatening transition from the human life to a primate life, where she is trying to diverge back into her original species.

What we can learn from Lucy is that is easy to split primates into another species by teaching them what we know. We can also learn that once a species make a move forward it is hard for them to move back. We can also learn that other species can evolve to learn live and evolve to be intelligent like us. From this story I will take away the fact about how easily it took a species to diverge and how long it took for them to remerge in one life time. I will also take away how the people in the story treated her and cared for her.
