HALABELLA | Lucy’s Big Brother @halabella6 | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
An older guy has sauntered into Lucy’s life, and some researchers believe he stands ready to recast much of what scientists know about the celebrated early hominid and her species.But there are researchers who are not so convinced that the new fossil changes much of what they already knew about Lucy and her kind.
Fossils from the Awash River valley in Ethiopia have pushed the existence of man’s line back to before 4 million years ago and this is the first time since the excavation of Lucy in 1974 that paleoanthropologists have turned up more than isolated pieces of an adult from the species, which lived in East Africa from about 4 million to 3 million years ago.
Excavations in Ethiopia’s Afar region have uncovered a 3.6-million-year-old partial male skeleton of the species Australopithecus afarensis. The team that discovered the skeleton was led by anthropologist Yohannes Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and has dubbed the new find Kadanuumuu, which means “big man” in the Afar language
