Journal Article
Paleo-anthropology's Superstar
2024
Overview
\"Lucy\" is the now-famous moniker given 50 years ago to a fragmentary early hominin skeleton recovered from a hillside in the Horn of Africa. The fossilized remains of a diminutive female hominin were first spotted by Tom Gray, then a graduate student member of an American and French team that in the early 1970s was searching outcrops dating to 3 to 4 million years old near Hadar, Ethiopia, for evidence of human ancestors. A few years later, Lucy, along with the other early homi-nins recovered from Hadar and from Laetoli in Tanzania, was assigned to a novel species, Australopithecus afarensis, by Donald Johanson, founding director of the Institute of Human Origins, Tim D. White, now at the University of California, Berkeley, and the late Yves Coppens, who had been a professor at the College de France.
