The bones are 2.6 to 3.3 million years old. Lucy was the name given to the hominid that he discovered. According to her classification, Lucy was Australopithecus afarensis, and is assumed to be descended from the first individuals of the genus Homo.]]> 2022-05-21 18:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ksuryade/8932iadt7sg2qjk7/wish/2194093701 ksuryade https://padlet.com/ksuryade/8932iadt7sg2qjk7/wish/2194103910 Tim White and his colleagues discovered the remnants of Homo sapiens in 1997 in Ethiopia. From all these discoveries, the most recent data reveals that the species originated in Africa as well. ]]> 2022-05-21 19:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ksuryade/8932iadt7sg2qjk7/wish/2194103910
