Lucy's Legacy: 50 Years of Revolution in Human Evolution
The discovery of Lucy in 1974 and subsequent paleogenetic breakthroughs have revolutionized the understanding of human evolution, revealing a complex, branching pattern rather than a linear progression, with multiple hominin species coexisting and intermingling.

Australopithecus Diet: Primarily Plant-Based, Study Finds
Analysis of 3.5-million-year-old Australopithecus tooth enamel from Sterkfontein Caves in South Africa reveals a primarily plant-based diet, challenging the narrative of meat as a key driver of human evolution; the findings, published in "Science", utilized a novel method for analyzing nitrogen isot...

Lucy: 50 years of groundbreaking discoveries in human evolution
Discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, the 3.2-million-year-old partial skeleton of Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis) provided groundbreaking evidence of bipedalism and a transitional stage in human evolution, challenging previous assumptions about human origins and sparking extensive research into early h...

New Hominin Species, *Homo juluensis*, Proposed Based on Chinese Fossils
Scientists propose *Homo juluensis*, a new hominin species, based on Chinese fossils with unusually large cranial capacities (1700-1800 cubic centimeters), challenging the 'Out of Africa' theory of human evolution and prompting debate among paleontologists.

3-Million-Year-Old Tools Found in Kenya
Archaeologists discovered 3-million-year-old Oldowan stone tools on Kenya's Homa Peninsula, challenging previous assumptions about the origins and impact of early tool use by hominins, which fueled brain and body growth.
