lucy reconstruction models  

Definition

  • Lucy is among the most famous fossil skeletons believed to represent an early stage of hominid evolution following separation of the human lineage from its nearest living ape relative. At 3.2 million years, Lucy was the oldest and most complete hominid skeleton that clearly showed evidence of bipedal locomotion. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Lucy Reconstruction Models]
