...detailed scientific study of the Laetoli hominid fossils confirmed that they belonged to a new hominid species, best represented by the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton I had discovered four years earlier at Hadar, Ethiopia. When I presented these findings in May 1978 at a Nobel symposium in Sweden, Mary had already agreed to be one of the coauthors on the scientific paper defining the new species, Australopithecus afarensis. A few months later, however, when the paper was being printed, she cabled me demanding removal of her name. I respected her wishes and had the title page redone. Like...
...Hadar, Ethiopia, Donald Johanson and colleagues find a 3.2 million-year-old skeleton of a new human ancestor, later called Australopithecus afarensis; it is nicknamed Lucy...
Perhaps the most abstract film of the four from the Ma'ale school was Hadar Friedlich's Fast of Words, an examination of the attempts of a writer, photographer and musician to spend an entire day without speaking.

Chances are that if the answer exists, it is waiting in Hadar. Kimbel and his colleagues realized several years ago that it was an ideal place to look for clues to humanity's immediate family because Lucy's bones didn't come from the most recent rocks in the area. By combing through younger rocks, the scientists hoped to uncover clues to what came later. The newly announced jawbone is among the first fruits of that labor, but it probably won't be the last...
