In 1972 Maurice Taieb, 40, of France's National Center for Scientific Research, and Donald Carl Johanson, 34, of Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, discovered stone instruments going back 2.6 million years in the Afar area of Ethiopia. After two years their group made a considerably more sensational disclosure. On November 24, 1974, Donald Johanson and his understudy Tom Gray were reviewing a site named Hadar in the Afar area of Ethiopia, East -Africa when they saw a bone sticking out of the ground. They started work to reveal the bone and discovered numerous more bone sections, which turned out to be an astoundingly finish early hominid skeleton. Not a long way from their first discover, they later revealed the fossilized remainders of a

It was a 40% finish fossilized skeleton of a little grown-up female, matured around 25. Sections of Lucy's pelvis and thigh bones emphatically propose that she strolled upright, more than 3 million years prior. “Johanson's first revelation comprised of a couple bits of a knee bone. In the first place, Johanson thought the knee to have a place with a monkey or primate, yet it didn't appear like it had a place with such a creature (“In Search of Human Origins part one.” Nova, PBS, 3 June 1997).” Named after the Beatles’ tune “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” that was playing while the research crew celebrated the Lucy’s discovery. In Amharic, an Ethiopian language, she is warmly alluded to as "Dinquinesh," signifying "great thing. Lucy was a little bodied female that likely remained around 3"6" (107cm) tall and weighed approximately 60 pounds (27.3 kg) . Researchers can tell that Lucy is female on the grounds that the life systems of her pelvis by and large take after that of female advanced people. What's more, Lucy's
