Australopithecus Afarensis. Who Lies Sleeping? The Dinosaur Heritage. AskWhy! Publications. The shape of her hip bones and her upright posture signal Lucy (or Australopithecus afarensis, to use the scientific name) as being closer to us than the chimpanzee, the closest living relative of man. The human race obviously still had a long way to come in the four million years between then and now, but Lucy already showed clear distinctions from the other apes. web.ukonline.co.uk /michael.magee/awwls/00/wls123.html   (496 words)

Gentle Jones' World News Report ™ Lucy is a 3.5-foot-tall (1.1-meter-tall) adult skeleton that belongs to an early human ancestor, or hominid, known as Australopithecus afarensis. According to White, the discovery supports the hypothesis that Lucy was a direct descendent of Australopithecus anamensis. The new fossils are from the most primitive species of Australopithecus, known as Australopithecus anamensis. www.gentlejones.blogspot.com   (17574 words)

Australopithecus afarensis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Australopithecus afarensis is a hominid which lived between 3.9 to 3 million years ago belonging to the genus Australopithecus, of which the first skeleton was discovered on November 24, 1974 by Donald Johanson, Yves Coppens and Tim White in the Middle Awash of Ethiopia's Afar Depression. A diorama of Australopithecus afarensis and other human predecessors showing each species in its habitat and demonstrating the behaviors and capabilities that scientists believe it had is in the Hall of Human Biology and Evolution at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. One of the most striking characteristics possessed by Lucy was that she had a small skull, bipedal knee structure, and molars and front teeth of human (rather than great ape) style and relative size, but a small skull and small body. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Australopithecus_afarensis   (1499 words)

Fossil Hominids: Lucy (AL 288-1) Lucy was an adult female of about 25 years and was assigned to the species Australopithecus afarensis. The humerofemoral ratio, or length of humerus divided by length of femur, is 84.6 for Lucy, compared to 71.8 for humans, and 97.8 and 101.6 for the two species of chimpanzee (all these figures have a standard deviation of between 2.0 and 3.0). About 40% of her skeleton was found, and her pelvis, femur (the upper leg bone) and tibia show her to have been bipedal, although there is evidence that afarensis was also partly arboreal (tree-dwelling). www.talkorigins.org /faqs/homs/lucy.html   (167 words)

PBS - Scientific American Frontiers:Life's Really Big Questions:Meet Lucy Lucy belonged to a species Johanson and his colleagues dubbed Australopithecus afarensis -literally "southern ape from East Africa" -one of the earliest species of hominids, the family of bipedal primates which includes Homo habilis ("handy man") and Homo erectus ("upright man"). Evidence from the molars, joints and spine indicate Lucy was a young adult, maybe 21 years of age when she died. With her chimp-like brain capacity, but human-like pelvis and knee, Lucy provides strong evidence that bipedalism came first, as far back as 3.2 million years ago. www.pbs.org /saf/1103/features/meetlucy.htm   (400 words)

Australopithecus All members of the genus Australopithecus are found in Africa. Australopithecus afarensis existed from 3.7 to 3.0 million years ago.

Evidences of Creation.com Scientific findings countered the evolutionist propositions on "Lucy", the most famous specimen of the Australopithecus species. The inner ear canals of all Australopithecus specimens analysed by Spoor, Wood and Zonneveld were the same as those of modern apes. The skull of the Australopithecus aferensis and that of the modern chimpanzee are very similar to each other. www.evidencesofcreation.com /tellme22.htm   (583 words)

Australopithicus Australopithecus -- Donald Johanson in his book "Lucy" refers to the "australopithecine mess" - and it definitely is that. The very word Australopithecus means "southern ape" because the first fossils were found in South Africa. The discoverer was Dr. Raymond Dart, professor of anatomy at Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg. evolutionlie.faithweb.com /australopithicus.html   (184 words)

Australopithecus africanus Perhaps the most compelling evidence I have viewed is the dental traits chart on page 277 of Donald Johanson's book "Lucy: The Beginnings of Human Kind." It clearly shows that while the molars of Homo remain small like Australopithecus afarensis, the Australopithecine molars get larger and larger with each species beginning with A. africanus. I invite you to go look this up and decide for yourself where this species belongs on the hominid family tree. Others say that it belongs on the defunct Australopithecine line. www.geocities.com /CapeCanaveral/Lab/8932/africanus.html   (237 words)

Is there fossil evidence of 'missing links' between humans and apes? [technical]- ChristianAnswers.Net Her illustration showing the left half of the skeleton of a pygmy chimp joined to the right half of the skeleton of the fossil Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis), revealing the close match, has appeared in a number of science periodicals. Australopithecus ramidus a new species of early hominid from Aramis, Ethiopia: Nature, 371:306-312. They consider the smaller fossils of the hypodigm to be just varieties of Australopithecus africanus- late survivors that were contemporary first with Homo habilis and later with Homo erectus. www.christiananswers.net /q-aig/aig-c029.html   (6563 words)

Australopithecines africanus, which are termed "gracile." The smaller gracile forms Australopithecus africanus and Australopithecus afarensis (the species which includes the famous fossil “Lucy") are typically thought to be the most closely related to humans. Studies have found that Australopithecus africanus (very similar to Australopithecus afarensis), the australopithecine species often thought to be the most closely related to humans, had a body shape more similar to modern apes than to members of the genus Homo. There are a variety of accepted taxonomic schemes for the australopithecines, however the four most commonly accepted species are Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, Australopithecus robustus, and Australopithecus boisei. www.iscid.org /encyclopedia/Australopithecines   (6563 words)

Africast Global Africa Network- News Australopithecus afarensis was first recognised in the 1970s on the basis of the now famous "Lucy" skeleton from Hadar, Ethiopia, and footprints preserved in volcanic ash at Laetoli, Tanzania. Australopithecus anamensis had a significantly thicker layer of enamel on its teeth than Ardipithecus, suggesting the later hominid was adapting to eating a more abrasive diet of roots. Australopithecus anamensis is intermediate between the two not only chronologically but also in terms of its anatomy. news.africast.com /africastv/article.php?newsID=58422   (625 words)

Definition of Lucy Lucy is a 3.18 million year old female hominid, of the genus Australopithecus, whose skeleton was discovered on November 30, 1974 by Donald Johanson and Tom Gray in the Afar Triangle of Ethiopia. Lucy is preserved at the national Museum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. One of the most striking characteristics possessed by Lucy was that she had a small skull, bipedal knee structure, and molars and front teeth of human (rather than great ape) style and relative size, but a small skull and small body. www.wordiq.com /definition/Lucy   (355 words)

Australopithecus afarensis - Leakey ancestors The species was first recognised in 1978 and for many years Australopithecus afarensis was believed to be the earliest australopithecine and the earliest biped. Australopithecus afarensis is best known from Hadar in Ethiopia, where over 200 specimens have been recovered. It is normal to designate the most complete specimen as the type specimen, and the obvious choice for the type specimen in this case was the Lucy skeleton. www.inhandmuseum.com /LA/afarensis/AfarFrame.html   (1127 words)

Australopithecus afarensis The afarensis material is important in that it is the best known early hominid species (although as earlier anamensis and/or ramidus material becomes better known, it will lose much of its focus as the earliest known hominid material for which much is known). Possibly the best-known specimen of afarensis is AL 288-1 ("Lucy"), a 3.2 million year old partial skeleton found in November 1974 at Hadar, Ethiopia. The species A. afarensis is one of the better known australopithecines, with regards to the number of samples attributed to the species. www.archaeologyinfo.com /australopithecusafarensis.htm   (1774 words)

Washingtonpost.com: Fossils May Be Humans' Missing Link One is Australopithecus afarensis, which existed between 3.9 million and 2.8 million years ago in East Africa. The presumptive new species, which the team named A. garhi (from the local word for "surprise"), has a projecting face like Lucy's, a small brain case about one-third the size of modern humans, and large front teeth. It also has massive back teeth that are different in form from those of the later robust forms of Australopithecus, which had huge, powerful molars for chewing tough vegetation. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/national/daily/april99/fossils042399.htm   (354 words)

New fossil find provides important clues to man's prehistory The thighbone showed there had been an elongation from Australopithecus closer to the proportions of modern humans, while the forearm was still elongated as in its Australopithecus forebears. garhi fossil has intermediate features and lived in a period between "Lucy"--3.3 million years ago and Homo habilis --1.9 million years ago, the scientists have not claimed that it represents a direct descendent of Homo even though it represents a promising candidate. The species, which has been named Australopithecus garhi, was identified by a skullcap and an upper jaw with teeth. www.wsws.org /articles/1999/may1999/foss-m05.shtml   (354 words)
