Lucy lived 3.18 million years ago in what's now Ethiopia. An analysis of high-resolution CT scans of her fossilized skeleton shows she was equipped for climbing trees.

Hello there my fellow History Fanatics! What I have here is a handcrafted, out of the blue ART DIORAMA I made solely myself! It is themed around a distant era… an era which thrived of the Australopithecus Afarensis- old hominid/cavemen that lived and thrived on Earth millions of years ago! This project took me weeks to make. Took some time and patience for it to come out perfect for you! 😊 Measured 17” L X 12” W Note: PHOTOGRAPHS/DIORAMA HAVE NOT BEEN ALTERED IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. What is presented before you is the real deal peeps!
She had some pretty powerful legs.
The famous human ancestor known as Lucy walked the Earth, but it was her tree climbing that might have led to her demise, a new study suggests.
Australopithecus afarensis Johanson & White, 1978 - fossil hominid from the Pliocene of eastern Africa. (replica of AL 288-1 (National Museum of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) on public display, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland, Ohio, USA) Hominids are humans. Fossils of the human family are known back to the Miocene, with many species known from Pliocene and Pleistocene sedimentary rocks. Only one species in Family Hominidae is alive today, in the late Holocene - that's us, Homo sapiens. Hominids originated in Africa - that's where the oldest human fossils occur. Everyone on Earth is African, from an evolutionary point-of-view. The species Australopithecus afarensis existed from about 2.9 to 3.9 million years ago, during the Pliocene, in eastern Africa. This is the discovery specimen, a partial skeleton nicknamed "Lucy" (or sometimes "Larry"). Multiple skeletons have been found together. The adult height was about the same as a modern 6-year old child (seen here). The femur, hip bones, foot bones, and toe bones of various specimens show that this was an upright, obligate biped - it was an early human walking on two legs. Trace fossils also indicate this - footprints of an obligate biped that is probably Australopithecus afarensis occur in a ~3.6 to 3.7 million year old volcanic tuff in Tanzania, eastern Africa. Skulls of this species have a brow ridge, a prognathic face (= projecting jaw), and teeth intermediate in morphology between apes and modern humans. Compared with modern humans, Australopithecus afarensis had smaller bodies, relatively smaller brains, and large molar teeth. It was probably sexually dimorphic. This hominid generally lived in forests and was likely a frugivore (fruit eater) and leaf eater. Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Primates, Hominidae Stratigraphy: Hadar Formation, Pliocene, 3.2 Ma Locality: Hadar area, Afar Triangle, northern Ethiopia, eastern Africa

How many of you have pondered upon the origin of humanity? Or who could have been the oldest ancestor to mankind? Or how we are all related to that ancestor? I know some will say Adam and Eve… but …
