This is a song I made for my Intro to Evolution Course about "Lucy" the Australopithecus afarensis fossil that was discovered in Hadar, Ethiopia on November 24th, 1974 by Donald Johanson and a team of scientists. Lucy's remains dated back to 3.4-3.0 m.y.a. and was the most completed early hominin fossil structure during the time of her discovery. The sources I used for the information in this song are listed below:

0:12 (The Discovery of Lucy) - Johanson, Donald C., et al. Lucy, the beginnings of humankind. United Kingdom, Simon and Schuster, 1981.

1:30 (Sexual Dimorphism) - Reno PL, Lovejoy CO. 2015. From Lucy to Kadanuumuu: balanced analyses of Australopithecus afarensis assemblages confirm only moderate skeletal dimorphism. PeerJ 3:e925
