[小资料] 人类祖先露西 Human ancestor Lucy
说起人类祖先，大家对距今约320万年前的老祖母露西（Lucy）并不陌生。露西是一副南方古猿阿法种（Australopithecus afarensis）化石骨架的别称。

Lucy is the name given to a fossilized partial skeleton of a member of a species we call Australopithecus afarensis. This now-extinct species is thought to be a human ancestor. Members of Lucy’s species, A. afarensis, did apparently spend time walking upright on the ground.
[机器翻译] 露西是我们称之为南方古猿（Australopithecus afarensis）的一个物种的部分骨骼化石的名字。这种现已灭绝的物种被认为是人类的祖先。露西的物种 A.afarensis 的成员显然在地面上直立行走。

We did evolve in Africa but, rather than originating in one region, we emerged from populations across the continent in a process called “African multiregionalism”. Everything, from the identity of our last ancestor, when our species left Africa and what happened next, is up for revision.
[机器翻译] 我们确实在非洲发展，但我们并非起源于一个地区，而是在一个被称为“非洲多区域主义”的过程中从整个大陆的人口中脱颖而出。从我们上一代祖先的身份、我们物种离开非洲的时间以及接下来发生的事情，一切都有待修正。

https://www.newscientist.com/definition/human-evolution/
Until recently, the out-of-Africa paradigm had Homo sapiens evolving in East Africa around 150,000 years ago, becoming capable of modern behaviours around 60,000 years ago, and then migrating en masse to colonise the entire world. But new analyses of fossils, tools and DNA tell a different story. It looks like our species is far older – at least 300,000 years old – and was behaviourally sophisticated from the start. We did evolve in Africa but, rather than originating in one region, we emerged from populations across the continent in a process called “African multiregionalism”. Everything, from the identity of our last ancestor, when our species left Africa and what happened next, is up for revision. These are interesting times to be exploring the human story – no doubt, there will be more plot twists to come.
