Lucy's Story

When and where was Lucy found?

Lucy was found by Donald Johanson , Tim White and Tom Gray

on the November 24, 1974, at the site of Hadar in Ethiopia. They

had taken a Land Rover out that day to map in another locality.

After a long, hot morning of mapping and surveying for

fossils, they decided to head back to the vehicle. Johanson

suggested taking an alternate route back to the Land

Rover.Within moments, he spotted a right proximal ulna

(forearm bone) and quickly identified it as a hominid. Shortly

thereafter, he saw an occipital (skull) bone, then a femur, some

ribs, a pelvis, and the lower jaw. Two weeks later, after many

hours of excavation, screening, and sorting, several hundred

fragments of bone had been recovered, representing 40 percent

of a single hominid skeleton.

Lucy's Story

How did Lucy get her name?

Later in the night of November 24, there was

much celebration and excitement over the

discovery of what looked like a fairly complete

hominid skeleton. There was

drinking, dancing, and singing; the Beatles’

song “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” was

playing over and over. At some point during that

night, no one remembers when or by whom, the

skeleton was given the name “Lucy.” The name

has stuck.

HOMOHomo is the genus that

includes modern humans and

species closely related to them.

The genus is estimated to be about

2.3 to 2.4 million years

old, evolving

from australopithecine ancestors

with the appearance of Homo

habilis.
