Lucy Long Ago by Catherine Thimmesh

Long Ago, Lucy Lived. Her skeleton remains and continues to unlock the past. Lucy is over three million years old, but at the time of her death in Hadar, Ethiopia was only in her early twenties. Scientists from around the world began to gather with many questions concerning her bones after the discovery in 1974.. Was she a new species ? The missing link ? Did she walk upright ? Was she human ? Her discovery created a new species of Hominid with her family tree dating around three to four million years ago.
