who was lucy?

Question

lived in the stone age.

Answer 1

lucy is the earliest evidence of early man the first ape like species that walked upright, it is believed by not walking on all fours man began using their hands for building rudementary tools and this caused the human brain to expand and future generations brain power to increase.

It was named lucy as the scienctists that found the remains listened to the beatles lucy in the sky with diamonds in the evening after they found her. Lucy is proof that we evolved from apes.

Answer 2

Lucy was in actual fact the first ever Woman prehistoric fossil to be found. But as with anything scientific, things get translated wrongly.. Lucy should really be "Lucky"..
She had a deformed left leg, a cleft pallette bone structure and only one arm , which proffesers all over the world think was present at childbirth.
When finally uncovered, lucky had the impression of a giant dinasours foot covering her head and upper body and a fossilised flower in her hand.. Seems the best diagnosis of all this is that she was casually walking along and saw the flower, probably thought that it would look nice in the vase she had back in the cave, and as she bent down to pick it, a giant dinasour stepped on her. Probably because as they discovered, she was deaf also

Answer 3

'Lucy’ is the popular name given to the famous fossil skeleton found in 1974 in Ethiopia by American anthropologist Donald Johanson. To many people, Lucy is regarded as a certain link between ape-like creatures and man—thus supposedly proving evolution. But is Lucy really a pre-human ancestor?

Answer 4

Lucy was found by Donald Johanson and Tom Gray in Ethiopia in 1974. She was named after the Beatles song 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' which was for some reason played a lot at the 'we've found the awesomest hominid fossil ever' party.

Answer 5

Lucy lived far before the "stone age". She represents one of the best skeletons of her species, Australopithecus afarensis, and is dated to about 3.2 million years ago. Despite creationist arguments that she was an ape, the evidence shows that Lucy walked fully upright, and that her species is an intermediate between humans and other apes.

Answer 6

I think your information about the Stone Age is wrong.

Lucy is the friend and constant pain in the a** to Charlie Brown,

Answer 7

Well Lucy was probably not her real name.... Lucy is a skeleton that archeologists found, it is probably the oldest one. At least according to carbon dating it is. You could google it and come up with more info than I have been able to provide.

Answer 8

Lucy is "supposedly" an early ape like type human. I don't believe any of this by the way.

Answer 9

Lucy is the skeletonised remains of one of the first humans - as opposed to great apes - who was discovered in Africa by the great archaeologist Lewis Leakey. She's believed to represent the transition, in evolutionary terms, from apes to humans (as evidenced by phenomena like opposable thumbs, lowered voice-box, etc.).

Hope that helps.
