Pfupisa nyaya yacho:  Lucy, chinyorwa chakare zvikuru uye chakakwana zvikurusa chomunhu wapakuvamba chati chambowanwa, chichine zvakavanzika zvishomanene zvokuzivisa. Yakawanwa muna 1974, mafupa ane makore mamiriyoni 3,2 okukura akashamisa vanochera matongo vakafukunura zvisaririra zvacho pavaichera munzvimbo iri yoga munharaunda yeAfar yeEthiopia. Zvino, kutarira kutsva pazvisaririra zvomunhu wekare kunoratidza kuti rimwe ramapfupa ringangova, chaizvoizvo, romupupuri. Lucy, chinyorwa chakare zvikuru uye chakakwana zvikurusa chomunhu wapakuvamba chati chambowanwa, chichine zvakavanzika zvishomanene zvokuzivisa. Kutarisa patsva pazvisaririra zvehominid yekare kunoratidza kuti rimwe remapfupa emutsipa ringangove raiva rebhuruu. Pasinei zvapo nokuwanikwa makore 40 apfuura, Lucy achiri kudzidzwa kuti adzidze zvakawanda pamusoro pamadzitateguru edu. Tsinga yacho ndeyemarudzi anonzi Australopithecus afarensis uye inenge yakwana ne40 muzana. Apo yakawanwa muEthiopia, Lucy akanga ari iye bedzi skeleton yorudzi rwacho rwaizivikanwa; iye angadai akamira mamita 3.5 (anenge mita imwe) kureba. Pari zvino, vanhu vanopfuura 300 vorudzi urwu, avo vakararama makore anenge mamiriyoni 3,85 kusvika kumamiriyoni 2,95 akapfuura, vakawanikwa. Kuwana kusinganzwisisiki kwepfupa rembaboon kwakaitwa apo Gary Sawyer naMike Smith paAmerican Museum of Natural History muNew York vakatanga kushanda pakuvakazve mafupa aLucy (kurudyi) Kuwana kusinganzwisisiki kwepfupa rembaboon kwakaitwa apo Gary Sawyer naMike Smith paAmerican Museum of Natural History muNew York vakatanga kushanda pakuvakazve mafupa aLucy. 'Mike akataura kuti chimwe chezvidimbu zvacho [zvemutsipa], icho pasina munhu, kusanganisira ini, akanga anyatsocherechedza, chairatidzika kuva chiduku zvikuru kuti chienderane nemutsara wose womutsipa waLucy,' Scott Williams weNew York University akaudza New Scientist. Vatsvakurudzi vakafunga kuti tsananguro inogoneka yaiva yokuti chimedu chacho chakanga chakaraswa pamwe chete nomumwe, nhengo duku yerudzi rwaLucy. Kuenzanisa tsanga dzezvimwe zvisaririra zveAustralopithecus zvomunharaunda iyoyo kwakaratidza kuti dzidziso iyi ndeyenhema. Vatsvakurudzi vakaongorora mienzaniso 11 yedombo kubva kumativi ose echinhu chakanga chapera che Little Foot fossil skeleton...
Mapfupa echikara akaonekwa neAmerican Museum of Natural History. Vatsvakurudzi vakafunga kuti rimwe remapfupa omuzongoza rakanga riri duku zvikuru kuti Lucy agare mariri. Vanoti pfupa rebhuruu rakanga rakasanganiswa nenzira yakati nezvisaririra zvaLucy. Lucy ndiro rekare kupfuura ose uye rakakwana pane ose rakawanikwa revanhu vekare.
