Lucy the ape, an Australopithecus afarensis, taught us about early hominid behavior, anatomy, and locomotion. By studying her fossils, scientists have gained insights into the evolutionary history of humans and our ancestors. Lucy's discovery also provided evidence that upright walking evolved before large brains in human evolution.
