Presentation Transcript

  1. Lucy (Australopithecus) Lucy is a 3.2 million year old Australopithecus Afarensis. She is a hominin and provides evidence the bipedalism came before the increase in brain size due to a small skull like apes, but the upright walk like that of humans. Her skeleton was found in Ethiopia in 1974 by Donald Johanson, Maurice Taieb, Yves Coppens, and Tom Gray. Lucy’s exhibit currently resides in Ethiopia.
