Fossil hominid skeleton known as Lucy

Fossil hominid skeleton Australopithecus afarensis known as 'Lucy' (AL 288-1). Lucy was part of a rich find of fossils made in the Afar region of Ethiopia between 1973 and 1977. She dates from 3.3 million years ago and is widely accepted as the earliest link in the human record. The remains comprise 40% of the entire skeleton and include skull fragments, a mandible, most of the left and right arm, vertebrae, rib fragments, sacrum, left pelvic bone, left thigh and right lower leg. The form of the pelvic bones showed her to be female, erupted wisdom teeth suggested she was 20 years old and the thighbone indicated she was small, between 107 and 122 centimetres (4 feet) tall
