Australopithecus afarensis "Lucy"
Dated to 3.18 million years ago

Discovered in the Afar Desert of Ethipia in 1974, this first Australopithecus afarensis skeleton ever found was nicknamed "Lucy" after the Beatles'song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".
Finds comprise bone fragments that make up about 40 percent of the total skeleton showing that she was about 1.1 m tall. Erupted wisdom teeth (third molars) in the jaw place her age at early twenties at the time of death. The shape of the hip bone indicates that she was female and could walk upright, which proves that human ancestors were bipedal long before they knew how to make stone tools.
