| Re: This Day In History: Skeleton of "Lucy" Discovered
 "Lucy," a 3.2 million-year-old female hominid of the species Australopithecus afarensis, was discovered by scientists in Ethiopia's Afar Depression. An unprecedented 40% intact, Lucy was the first fossil hominid to really capture public notice. Although she was 3 feet, 8 inches tall and looked somewhat like a Chimpanzee, her bipedal knee structure indicates that she walked upright, like a human. What other human skeletal features did she possess? More... | Shape of the Pelvis. |
