Who was Lucy?

Travel back 3.2 million years into the past to the grassy plains of Africa! Long before cities, writing, or wheels were ever invented, our earliest ancestors were walking the Earth. Meet Lucy, a tiny, hairy early human who was a completely full-grown adult but only the size of a modern preschooler! In 1974, scientists digging in the sweltering, dusty desert of Ethiopia stumbled upon her fossilized bones and named her after a famous Beatles song playing in their camp. But why is Lucy one of the most famous historical discoveries ever? Because her bones proved that early humans walked completely upright on two legs long before they grew big brains! Join Mira and Finn on History's Not Boring as they uncover the wild story of Lucy and her ancient family. We'll explore how she survived alongside terrifying prehistoric beasts like giant eagles and saber-toothed cats, how she might have used the very first stone tools, and even learn about ancient human footprints frozen in volcanic mud for over three million years! Get ready to become the ultimate history detective!
