The pre historic era begins with millions of years by the fossil findings of the hominids, from the 5.5 million year old Australopithecus Kadaba until THE 4.4 YEARS OLD Australopithecus Ramidus, FROM THE 3.2 MILLION YEARS OLD Lucy until The recent human Homo sapiens. GENAERALLY Ethiopia is a country can fill the missing links in the Evolution of human being and having an Archeology tour in Ethiopia will give you unlimited access to sites and undergoing excavations. From the all these findings the most famous one is Lucy or Australopithecus Afarensis, also called by Ethiopians ‘Dinkinesh’ meaning ‘you are wonderful’. Lucy was a female hominoid that lived in what is now called the Awash Valley in Hadar some 3.2 million years ago. When her 60% of skeletons were discovered in 1974, Ethiopia then claimed that it was the first dwelling of mankind.

Lucy’s scientific name is Australopithecus afarensis. The first word means “Southern Ape” and the second word signifies she was discovered in the Afar region. She is also classified in Hadar as AL 288-1. When she was discovered, only a little over half of her skeletons were found. She probably did not live more than 20 years and weighed around 60 pounds and stood three and a half feet. Lucy is kept fully preserved at the national Museum in Addis Abeba; an exact plaster replica is also displayed next to her.

But why was she called Lucy? Donald Johanson, the anthropologist from Chicago University who discovered her, tells us why: "Surely such a noble little fossil lady deserved a name. As we [his expedition crew] sat around one evening listening to Beatles' songs, someone said, ‘Why don't we call her Lucy? You know, after “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. “’ So she became Lucy.” Axum is also a place where visitors can enjoy modern human arts and utensils.
