Learn about the discovery and features of Lucy, the most complete early hominin fossil, and her species Australopithecus afarensis, which lived in East Africa 3.7 to 3 million years ago. See how Lucy's skeleton and other fossils reveal how this small-bodied, small-brained hominin walked upright and used tools.
AL 288-1, commonly known as Lucy or Dinkʼinesh (Amharic: ድንቅ ነሽ, lit. 'you are marvellous'), is a collection of several hundred pieces of fossilized bone comprising 40 percent of the skeleton of a female of the hominin species Australopithecus afarensis.
Evidence now strongly suggests that the Hadar material, as well as fossils from elsewhere in East Africa from the same time period, belong to a single, sexually dimorphic species known as Australopithecus afarensis.
