Lucy was named after the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which was playing at the digging site when she was discovered.
The nickname of the first early hominid found is "Lucy." Lucy is the most famous specimen of Australopithecus afarensis, an extinct hominid species that lived over 3 million years ago in Africa.
Lucy was not a Neanderthal. She was an earlier form of hominid. Lucy was an Australopithecus found in Africa, Ethiopia i believe to be exact. She is was one of the first almost complete skeletons found. she got their name from the beetles song that was playing when they found her.
The nickname of the hominid found by Donald Johanson is "Lucy." Lucy is an Australopithecus afarensis fossil discovered in Ethiopia in 1974 and is one of the most significant finds in the field of paleoanthropology.
Early humans are believed to have originated in Africa. The earliest known hominids, such as Australopithecus afarensis and Homo habilis, have been found in various parts of Africa, supporting the theory that this is where human evolution began.
Australopithecus africanus was an early hominid, an australopithecine, who lived between 2-3 million years ago in thePliocene.[2] In common with the older Australopithecus afarensis,A. africanus was slenderly built, or gracile, and was thought to have been a direct ancestor ofmodern humans. Fossil remains indicate thatA. africanus was significantly more like modern humans than A. afarensis, with a more human-like cranium permitting a largerbrain and more humanoid facial features. A. africanus has been found at only four sites in southern Africa - Taung (1924), Sterkfontein (1935), Makapansgat(1948) and Gladysvale(1992).[1]
the first group was Australopithecus Afarensis but the first hominid found from their group was Lucy.
A. afarensis lived in Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Kenya for sure, maybe more locations in E. Africa as yet discovered. There is no evidence of A. afarensis outside of Africa. One of the most famous A. afarensis is Lucy found in Hadar Ethiopia, part of the greater Afar group (hence the name). Also the Laetoli footprints in Tanzania, some of the most important evidence of early bipedalism are thought to have been made by a pair of A. afarensis. A. africanus lived in S. Africa.
donald johanson is a guy that found an Australopithecus afarensis a.k.a Lucy the fossil was 3.18 million years old
Australopithecus Afarensis......The first on found from that group is a female named Lucy a paleoanthropologist named Donald Johanson found her.

Australopithecus afarensis. "The Southern ape from the Afar region." A. afarensis society was probably not much different from that observed in Chimpanzees today with the improvements of very crude tools and the use of "found" fire.
Australopithecus afarensis means "southern ape of the Afar region." Only the prefix australo- ("southern", from the Latin name Auster for the South Wind) and the suffix -ensis ("belonging to a place") are of Latin origin. Pithecus is from Greek, and afar is from the name of the Afar people of Ethiopia, on whose territory the first specimens of A. afarensis were found.

Lucy was one of the very first nearly complete fossils to be found of the species Australopithecus afarensis, a morphological intermediate between more basal species of ape and modern humans.
Lucy is an early man fossil. She is part of Australopithecus Afarensis. She was named Lucy, because when she was found, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles was playing.
No, Australopithecus afarensis did not have a tail. It was a bipedal hominid that lived approximately 3.9-2.9 million years ago and is best known from the famous fossil "Lucy." Tails are typically found in non-human primate species for balance or communication purposes.
