Lucy’s skeleton differs from humans because she had shorter legs and a more platelike pelvis (when viewed from the top down). Wiseman’s model showed that while a modern human’s thigh was ...

Next, she used recently published open source virtual models of the Lucy fossil to put her skeleton back together, showing how each joint could move and rotate. Finally, ...

Bates and his colleagues created a 3D digital model of the ‘Lucy’ skeleton – a near-complete 3.2-million-year-old A. afarensis specimen discovered in Ethiopia half a century ago.

The discovery of a Lucy, a 3.2 million-year-old skeleton changed our theory of human evolution forever. The discovery is ...

The 3.2-million-year-old fossil "Lucy" at Addis Ababa's National Museum, Ethiopia, on May 7, 2013. The skeleton was discovered by paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson on November 24, 1974.

Bates and his colleagues created a 3D digital model of the ‘Lucy’ skeleton — a near-complete 3.2-million-year-old A. afarensis specimen discovered in Ethiopia half a century ago.

The researchers compared Lucy’s performances with those of a digital model of a modern human whose measurements echoed those of the 5-foot-9, 154-pound Dr. Bates, who is 38. Video ...

It's a skeleton that is more complete than Lucy and lived 150,000 years before Lucy, a child that died at the age of 2 1/2. And because of her antiquity and her completeness, ...

Matt Sponheimer, a CU Boulder professor of anthropology, notes that the Australopithecus afarensis skeleton known as Lucy is "instantly recognizable in a world awash in fossils." Officially labeled ...

Lucy's skeleton, along with subsequent discoveries of other fossils of her species, have given anthropologists a wealth of information about what is essentially the halfway point in human evolution.

Arizona State Professor Donald Johanson discovered the Lucy fossil skeleton—dated at over 3 million years old—in Ethiopia 50 years ago. Tucson (Sierra Vista) KOLD.
