New research uses 3D modeling to reconstruct Lucy's running style, revealing surprising insights into the evolution of human ...

But it turns out her species, Australopithecus afarensis, wasn't alone. In fact, as many as four other kinds of proto-humans roamed the continent during Lucy's time. But who were Lucy's neighbors ...

Ancient human ancestor Lucy was not alone — she lived alongside at least 4 other proto-human species, emerging research suggests —Our ancestor Lucy may have used tools more than 3 million ...

Lucy, our 3.2 million-year-old ancestor of the species Australopithecus afarensis, may not have won gold in the Olympics – ...

The current view that an ape named Lucy was among a species that gave rise to the first early humans may have to be reconsidered. The discovery is reported in the journal Nature. The skull was ...

Ancient human relatives ran on two legs, like modern humans, but at a much slower pace, suggest 3D computer simulations of Australopithecus afarensis 1 — a small hominin that lived more than ...

To get a picture of how Lucy's species, Australopithecus afarensis, moved, scientists compare fossils to the bones of modern humans, as well as to the anatomy of "knuckle-walking" primates like ...

Johanson and White announced at a 1978 symposium in Stockholm that Lucy, the people of Laetoli, the First Family, and other finds all belonged to a single species: Australopithecus afarensis ...
