Le Monde: The debated legacy of Lucy, the most famous australopithecine
Fifty years after the discovery of Lucy, the australopithecine fossil remains a pivotal figure in discussions about human evolution. Found in Ethiopia in 1974, Lucy's skeleton represents about 40% of an individual from approximately 3.2 million years ago, making it a significant find for paleontology.
Recent research continues to evaluate Lucy's role in the human family tree amid the discovery of other hominin species. While some scientists argue that Australopithecus afarensis, to which Lucy belongs, is a key ancestor, new species have emerged, complicating our understanding of human ancestry.
