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.
