Lucy’s discovery transformed our understanding of human origins. Don Johanson, who unearthed the Australopithecus afarensis remains in 1974, recalls the moment he found the iconic fossil.
She is a member of the species Australopithecus afarensis, she was 3 years old when she died and she predated Lucy by 150,000 years. The discovery's significance lay not only in Selam's antiquity, but also in her age at death.
The subsequent discovery of several more skulls of similar morphology persuaded most palaeontologists to classify her as a species called afarensis. [ 3 ] Johanson and Maitland A. Edey won a 1982 U.S. National Book Award in Science [ a ] for the first popular book about this work, Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind .

Lucy was launched from Cape Canaveral SLC-41 on 16 October 2021, at 09:34 UTC [3] on the 401 variant of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch vehicle. It gained one gravity assist from Earth a year later on 16 October 2022, [12] and after making a flyby of the asteroid 152830 Dinkinesh in 2023, [13] gained another gravity assist from Earth in 2024.

Lucy is one of the most complete Pliocene hominin skeletons, with over 40% preserved, but she was one of the smaller specimens of her species. Nonetheless, she has been the subject of several body mass estimates since her discovery, ranging from 13–42 kg (29–93 lb) for absolute lower and upper bounds.
