 "Lucy's Baby" - Worlds Oldest Child by James Owen

Lucy's baby was discovered in East Africa in an area known as the Cradle of Humanity. The skeleton belongs to the human species Australopithecus afarensis. The skeletal remains were found completed with a completed skull, full cranium and mandible. The baby also had an intact face. With further research into the teeth enamel, small fingers and other features, they found that the baby was approximately 3 years old when she died. She is named after the first ever found A. afarensis species, Lucy. However, Lucy's baby is known to be hundreds of thousands of years older than Lucy. She was known to live 3.3 million years ago while Lucy lived 3.2 million years ago. The finding of a baby helped provide significant insight into how human ancestors used to live. The finding did also arise further questions about when hominins actually became bipedal.
