Meet Lucy, the celebrity of fossils, who changed our view of evolution

Nov 29, 2024 | texarkanagazette.com | Carolyn Johnson |Manuel Canales |William Neff |Carson TerBush

Fifty years ago, our understanding of human origins began to change with the discovery of Lucy, a remarkably complete, 3.2-million-year-old human relative unearthed from the sandy soil in Hadar, Ethiopia. Lucy, formally known as A.L. 288-1, was about as tall as a kindergartner, with a body that blended features of apes and humans. Her Ethiopian name is Dinkinesh, which means "you are marvelous" in Amharic. Understanding of human origins was still nascent in the 1970s.

Sobre Futuro Anterior. Apuntes sobre un tiempo mutante de Javier Agüero Águila (EDULP-UFRO, 2024)INi fugarse ni entregarse, refugiarse queda cuando la derrota. Habla porfiada, hasta contra querencia, como resistiéndole el cuerpo al amargo de la desilusión. Arrastrados por la turbulencia o erguidos en la palabra que, al fin, aún nos quede. Refugio, cuando los años sin nombre. IIPalabra cruda para la derrota plena y la desilusión total.

Gaza faces a catastrophic supply shortage. Five months into the conflict, the deficit between the volume of all supplies, including food and medical necessities, that would have entered the Gaza Strip if not for the war and what has actually been received has reached at least half a million tons. The enclave has long been dependent on hundreds of truckloads of aid imports per day, under strict regulations imposed by Israel and Egypt.

The classic monsters we know today were introduced to American audiences on the big screen in the 1930s, when the country was looking for its own escape from the social and economic suffering of the Great Depression.
