My Date with Lucy


Was in Ethiopia last week and had to go visit Lucy at the National Museum in Addis Ababa. She is a 40% complete Australopithecus afarensis skeleton discovered by Maurice Taieb in 1974 and it is estimated that she lived around 3.3 million years ago.

You can read more about her here. I must say this was my first celebrity date!
