Question

"41st Anniversary of The Discovery of Lucy"

Answer 1

Lucy is the common name of AL 288-1, several hundred pieces of bone fossils representing 40 percent of the skeleton of a female of the hominin species Australopithecus afarensis. In Ethiopia the assembly is also known as Dinkinesh, which means "you are marvelous" in the Amharic language. Lucy was discovered in 1974 near the village Hadar in the Awash Valley of the Afar Triangle in Ethiopia by paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson.

Usually, for the arduous practice of paleoanthropology in the field, only few fossils and fragments of fossils are collected, and only rarely are skulls or ribs uncovered intact. But the Lucy "find" was extraordinary for the large fraction of the skeleton recovered and the significant amount of new information it provided, and for its age.

The Lucy specimen is an early australopithecine and is dated to about 3.2 million years ago. The skeleton presents a small skull akin to that of non-hominin apes, plus evidence of a walking-gait that was bipedal and upright, akin to that of humans (and other hominins); this combination supports the (debated) view of human evolution that bipedalism preceded increase in brain size.

"Lucy" acquired her name from the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles, which was played loudly and repeatedly in the expedition camp all evening after the excavation team's first day of work on the recovery site. After public announcement of the discovery, Lucy captured much public interest, becoming almost a household name at the time.

Answer 4

Eyala kyah he?

Answer 5

@jabez177 yeh Eyala nahi hai... it's Lucy <3

Answer 6

technically lucy was never real...the bones they did have were proven to be fake...just like every other evolutionary theory...the bones of the supposed "lucy" were normal human and animal bones that some scientists had etched away at.
lucy is a fake and always has been...there is no real discovery of any such lucy.
evolution is a fake.

Answer 7

So if you say Evolution is fake, then prove it

Answer 8

technically evolution has no way of ever being proven or disproven...but in my eyes none of there creation theories have yet to line up.

Answer 9

So then you cant call it fake. Your opinion is unsupported

Answer 10

maybe so...but the whole evolutionary theory is unsupported as well.

Answer 11

it is supported. by years of research

Answer 12

Evolution is change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations. Just look at Darwins theory. His experiment proves that Evolution is real and that it happens

Answer 13

none of there creation theories have yet to determine how the whole process started...
they can explain how everything has gotten to where it is today for the most part... but nobody can answer "how did that all start" there is a flaw with every situation thought of.

Answer 14

all that was really proven through "elolution" was adaptation

Answer 15

What do you expect. We cant prove everything. Just like no one can prove what caused the big bang and if it ever happen

Answer 16

Adaptation, evolution they are two different things

Answer 17

i'm just saying nobody really knows for sure...

Answer 18

but as far as lucy was concerned ... lucy was proven to be a fake ...the scientists even admitted to it.

Answer 19

@aardixon18 Actually, it's not fake, there's sufficient evidence that it's really a skeleton. :P

If you may, can you post relevant links and articles that Lucy was proven to be fake? I don't understand why .edu sites would lie.

Answer 20

is this about the evolution? ._.
