lb Skeleton ‘Lucy’ stirs up interest and controvers

It is surprising that a ‘Tittle
old lady” can stir upas much in
terest fthd eomfoversy as “Lu
cy”' has over the past years. Of
course, Lucy is a little older
than the average woman -— she
was born 3.7 million years ago.
Lucy is the oldest, best pre
served and — with 40 percent
of her bones found — the most
complete erect-walking human
ancestor ever discovered. With
slides. Gray showed how Lucy’s
and other fossils’ bones com
pare to those of humans and
chimpanzees.

Dr. B. Thomas Gray, a pro
fessor of anthropology at
Southwest Texas State Univer
sity, co-discovered the fossilized
skeletal remains in 1974 with
Dr. Donald Johanson during an
ekeavation in Hadar, Ethiopia.
Some of Lucy’s bones found
include her lower jaw, pelvis,
thigh and shin bones, several
vertebrae and ribs, and several
bones from the hands and an
kles.

He spoke Tuesday night in
Rudder Forum about the dis
covery of Lucy and other fossils
in Africa and the controversy
over the accuracy of the date
given the site,
Having analyzed these bones,
it has been established that Lucy
was an adult woman, probably
20 years to 25 years old when
she died, about 3 1 /* feet tall,
weighing about 55 pounds and
suffered from some type of dis
ease in her back.

Gray said that from the neck
up, the animals looked like hu
mans and from the neck down
they looked like chimps. He
said the homonids probably
looked like up-right walking
chimps.
At the time of Lucy’s discov
ery 10 years ago. Gray was an
anthropology gradualestudent. .
Gray is now a 33-year-old an
thropology teacher. With his
shoulder-length brown hair and
full moustache, Gray is very or
ganic-looking; and it’s easy to
imagine him at the barren site
of an archeological dig. He w as
a key member of the Interna
tional Afar Research Expedi
tion to Hadar which is a large
collection of over 300 pieces of
bones.
From the size of the lecture’s
audience, Lucy seems to be one
of the most exciting homonid
discoveries of our time, Gray
said at the beginning of his
speech. The large number of
questions posed to Gray after
the lecture attest to that fact.

Ethiopia, is an excellent pre
