Australopithecus afarensis is an extinct primate species which to some is still considered the "missing link" of human evolution. The monumental remains known as "Lucy" stemmed from one of the most famous paleoanthropological finds in recent history. This ancient species is thought to have lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago and remains the subject of heated discussions within many scholarly circles.
