Lucy 50th Anniversary Symposium: The Impact of "Lucy" on Human Origins Science

Event hosted by:
Institute of Human Origins (IHO) at Arizona State University; Co-sponsored by CARTA

In-Person Location:
Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ at the Walton Center for Planetary Health Auditorium

Summary:
Lucy is one of the most famous fossils of all time. The discovery of this species had a major impact on the science of human origins and evolution. Why? What was that impact?

The symposium speakers—each a prominent scientist in their field—will address this question and specifically discuss the discovery’s impact through time, starting with the first few years after the discovery, the lasting impact, and the state of the art in that research area today.
