Problem
Watch the youtube video on the discovery of Australopithecus afarensis: "Lucy IN SEARCH OF HUMAN ORIGINS PART ONE"
(The video is about an hour. The sound will get funky for a couple of minutes, but hang in there -- it clears up.) As you watch, take notes and answer the following questions: In the 1970s, what did paleoanthropologists hypothesize the earliest hominins would look like? How did Donald Johanson's discovery change the paradigm about early hominins? Why is it so important to find a more complete skull of Australopithecus afarensis?
