LINKS & Otherwise

On this day, 41 years ago, Lucy was discovered in Ethiopia.

It is commemorated by a Google Doodle. If you click the doodle, you can read a few newspaper articles written to inform us who Lucy might have been and how our thinking about her has changed first, right after the discovery, and since.

Personally, I think that Lucy was just a cute neighbor ...

My ancestors were probably on a different path.

It is hard to think of Lucy as being a humanoid. She still looks more like an ape than modern humans. But then again Lucy lived around 3.2 million years ago and modern humans appeared in Europe only about 45,000 years ago.
