This is Lucy!!

In 1974 D. Johanson and Maurice Taileb discovered remains of a young female hominid in Ethiopia, that may be 3 millions years old. They called her "Lucy". 

In 1978, Leakely found an older Australopithecus in Tanzania.

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT AUSTRALOPITHECUS?

Lucy and the other Austrolopithecus have helped us to understand early human-like hominid's life. Since archeologists discovered them, we know:

1. They lived in Africa

By wikipedia.org

2. They could walk upright, but they also could climb to the trees.

3. Their jaw was too heavy, so their brain could not be bigger.

4. They did not control fire.

5. They ate seeds, wild plants, fruits, insects and sometimes carrion (dead animals)

6. They did not create tools. They used natural objects as stones.
