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.
