::Lucy Lecture at HMNS::

Tonight is your chance to catch the discoverer (how weird does that sound?) of the infamous, Lucy, now on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

Special Lecture: Lucy's Legacy

The Houston Museum of Natural Science Distinguished Lecture Series presents Lucy's Legacy, presented by Donald Johanson, paleoanthropologist and discoverer of Lucy.

Lucy continues to be a diadem in the crown of hominid fossils and serves as an important touchstone for all subsequent discoveries. Donald Johanson shares Lucy’s discovery in 1974 and explores the lessons learned from looking at humanity through the lens of time. Many consider Johanson the most important and accomplished paleoanthroplogist of our time. Johanson currently directs the Institute for Human Origins at Arizona State University.
