Assuming you mean jointly, the two worked together on the Lucy fossil, or Australopithicus afarensis. Lucy is important for a number of reasons. First, she was one of the oldest hominid fossils found at the time. Second, she was clearly bipedal while still having a small brain. Previous theories assumed that bipedalism would be foreshadowed or at least accompanied by larger cranial capacity, which was now disproved. The two didn't work together long and eventually had a falling out.

Who was Don Johansen and what did he discover?

Don Johansen was a paleoanthropologist, He made one of the biggest discoveries in the search for our earliest ancestors. He discovered the fossil remains of "Lucy" Lucy was discovered in Hadar, Ethiopia on November 24, 1974, when Johanson, coaxed away from his paperwork by graduate student Tom Gray for a spur-of-the-moment survey, caught the glint of a white fossilized bone out of the corner of his eye, and recognized it as hominid. Forty percent of the skeleton was eventually recovered, and Johanson's girlfriend suggested she be named "Lucy" after the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" which was played repeatedly during the night of the discovery. A bipedal, Lucy stood about three and a half feet tall, and confirmed Raymond Dart's theory that australopithecines walked upright. Johanson and his team were also able to deduce from Lucy's ribs that she was vegetarian, and from her curved finger bones that although bipedal she was probably also at home in trees. Johanson recently offered at the Universidad de las Americas Puebla (UDLAP) a conference entitled "Lucy´s Legacy: The Quest for Human Origins".
