Listen "CARTA: Fifty Years Since Lucy’s Discovery: Advances in Scientific Knowledge on Human Origins and the Development of African Paleosciences with Yohannes Haile-Selassie"
Episode Synopsis
Lucy, discovered in 1974, revolutionized paleoanthropology, sparking interest in Africa's fossil-rich regions. This led to significant discoveries, pushing human origins records beyond six million years. Lucy's find prompted the establishment of research facilities in Africa, aiding local scholars' training. As we mark her 50th anniversary, we celebrate scientific progress and African research infrastructure while recognizing the need for further support to advance paleosciences in Africa.
