Lucy the first human

Jul 9, 1974

The name "Lucy" refers to one of the most famous early human ancestors ever discovered. Lucy is a fossilized specimen of Australopithecus afarensis, an early hominin species that lived about 3.2 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia, Africa.

Biringia

Aug 7, 1975

Beringia refers to the region that once connected Asia and North America, specifically the area around the modern-day Bering Strait, including parts of eastern Siberia, Alaska, and the surrounding sea. During the last Ice Age (approximately 20,000 to 15,000 years ago), sea levels were much lower than today because large amounts of water were trapped in the form of ice.
