Australopithecus afarensis -A.L. 288-1 "Lucy" was discovered by Donald Johanson in 1974 in Ethiopia. Dated at 3.2 million years, "Lucy" has been considered the first human. This is now being challenged by the discovery of Kenyanthropus, described in 2001 by Leaky. This reconstruction is based on the latest scientific data including photos, descriptions and casts of original bones.

Two versions of the same skull are available with the reconstructed areas in either light or dark brown finish, with the jaw and skull fragments in contrasting fossil color. Shown here with the dark brown finish.

Optional stand available.
