Though I will nitpick - As an Australopithecus from the Rift Valley, Lucy is neither human nor born in what is now an Anglophone country or Japan. I guess I could see "created" in the sense that she was assembled in the US.

I passed on human because although she certainly wasn't human, she's closely associated with humanity. Also, I thought it would be much more interesting to pass there.

Anglophone country or Japan I admit I should have answered with a straight no. Since Lucy's birthplace is unknown, I decided to pass the question since it touched on her birthplace.

Makes sense. I will say I'm also just miffed at myself for typing the answer and then editing it away. Alas...
