"Finding Lucy" exhibit
Fifty years ago — on Nov. 24, 1974 — a young paleoanthropologist named Donald Johanson was walking in the dusty landscape of the Afar Rift Valley of Ethiopia when he discovered the first human ancestor fossil who reliably walked upright on two feet — “Lucy.” Through photographs, specimens, casts and lifelike reproductions, this exhibit tells the story of Lucy's discovery and explores how she fits into the human family tree.
