CLEVELAND — The “Finding Lucy: Our First Steps in Discovery” exhibit opens at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History this Saturday, March 23 and will run through December 1.
This exhibit gives visitors the chance to get to know one of their early human ancestors, Australopithecus afarensis, better known as, Lucy.
Lucy is a partial skeleton discovered in 1974 in the Afar desert of Ethiopia. She was found by a team of international scientists led by Dr. Donald Johanson in 1974.
“Lucy is one of the most important discoveries in human evolutional studies and marked a huge step forward in our knowledge of our evolution,” said Sonia Winner, president and chief executive officer of the Museum. “The impact of our research and science education both onsite and in the field continues to be felt locally and globally.”
