Lucy is the nickname of a female Australopithecus afarensis fossil, discovered in Hadar, Ethiopia, in 1974. Dated to about 3.2 million years ago, Lucy is one of the most complete hominin fossils ever found, consisting of 40% of the skeleton. Her discovery provided significant evidence for the theory that bipedalism preceded an increase in brain size in human evolution.
