#australopithecusafarensis
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1974, #Lucy was discovered in Hadar, #Ethiopia, and named for the Beatles song. Lucy is 40% of an #AustralopithecusAfarensis skeleton, and verified that #bipedalism preceded expansion of the hominin brain. Creationist nuts still can't deal with basic fact.

It would seem that the #LucyMission team named this asteroid #Donaldjohanson for a good reason - it certainly looks like Lucy's femur. Just sayin' #NASA #AustralopithecusAfarensis #fossil #SwRI
