The Prague National Museum is soon going to set history by housing, for the very first time, the world-famous fossil “Lucy”, which dated back 3.18 million years. “Australopithecus afarensis” was unearthed in “Ethiopia in 1974” and one of the significant finds in terms of human evolution: a crucial indication of why our ancestors could walk upright.
A Landmark Exhibition
This unique exhibition will bring Lucy’s remains to European audiences for the first time, emphasizing her crucial role in understanding human ancestry. The exhibition will also feature cutting-edge research, interactive displays, and 3D reconstructions of early hominins.
Lucy, who had been named after the famous Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, had always been a considered one of the most well-preserved and complete early human fossils ever unearthed. Its Prague exhibition was, therefore, one of the key steps taken by Africa in presenting its paleoanthropological heritage to the world.
