1974年,一支由法美两国组成的联合探险队,发现了一具史前年轻女子的骸骨化石,推测女子死时年纪在18～20岁,化石距今约320万年。这具骸骨的完好率差不多达到40%。不过,这一完好率所含的科学信息对于描述“南方古猿”这一人类新种已经足够。在发现化石的当晚,科学家在帐篷里举行了盛大的庆祝活动,活动中播放了英国甲壳虫乐队的一首歌曲,名字叫做《天空中配戴钻石的露西(Lucy in the sky withdiamonds)》,于是化石就跟着被取名为“露西”。
In 1974, a joint expedition composed of France and the United States found a bony fossil of a prehistoric young woman, presumably at the age of 18 to 20 years old at the age of death and about 3.2 million years ago. The bones intact rate of almost 40%. However, the scientific information contained in this intact rate is sufficient to describe the human new species “Australopithecus.” On the night of the discovery of the fossils, scientists held a grand celebration in their tents, playing a song by the British Beatles under the name Lucy in the sky withdiamonds Followed by the fossil was named “Lucy ”.
