Have you heard about Lucy?

Lucy was found in 1974 in the eastern part of Ethiopia. At the time she was the oldest remains of a human body ever found – she lived 3.2 million years ago!

Lucy probably died when she was about 20 years old - people lived shorter lives then. Not only that - they were shorter people, Lucy was only about three and a half feet tall! Look you can see how small she is in this picture compared to a normal size woman today!

Because of this find Ethiopia was called the birthplace of human beings.

Can you draw a picture of Lucy?

I'll help you out – she had long arms which she probably used to climb trees with and she was probably quite hairy (look at the picture above!)
