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.

Who is Lucy the famous ape?
Lucy is a ape not a human like the scientists believe.
How did Lucy the ape die?
a yellow thing (aka a "choomah") screwed lucy hard and she bled to death

What makes a human a great ape?
What makes us a Grea Ape is that we don't have tails.
What is 'Lucy' Australopithecus?
'Lucy' is the nickname given to a famous fossil of the species Australopithecus afarensis, an early hominid that lived around 3.2 million years ago in East Africa. The discovery of Lucy in Ethiopia in 1974 provided important insights into human evolution, as she had a combination of ape-like and human-like characteristics, suggesting she walked upright on two legs. Lucy's fossil remains have been crucial in understanding the transition from ape-like ancestors to early humans.
What is the importance of Lucy in human evolution?
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.
What makes the Lucy a missing link?
Lucy, the well-preserved 3.2 million-year-old Australopithecus afarensis skeleton, is considered a missing link in human evolution because she displays a mix of ape-like and human-like characteristics. These features suggest a transitional stage between earlier ape-like ancestors and more modern human species. Lucy's discovery has provided valuable insights into the evolutionary path that led to the emergence of the Homo genus.

Why was the first Australopithecus afarensis found called Lucy?
The first Australopithecus afarensis fossil was named "Lucy" after the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by The Beatles– which was playing at the expedition camp when the fossil was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974.
How does the discovery of Lucy fit into the cerebral primacy hypothesis?
Lucy fit into the Cerebral Primacy becAUSE Johanson wanted to beleive that Lucy fit in the theory of "Jaw First" an ape- human , which by mean an evolutionary predecesson to human kind;Lucy characterized by the use of the intellect rather than intuition or instinct (cerebral primacy).

Which animals have the same eye sight as us?
