Photo taken on April 8, 2009 shows the
replica of 3.2 million-year-old humanoid fossil known as "Lucy" in the
National Museum in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia. "Lucy" was found in
Afar region by U.S. paleontologists in 1974. She was named after the
Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which was played by the
paleontologists all night after she was found. The scientists believed
that the ancestors of human beings may walk upright before their brain
enough evolved, as "Lucy"'s brain size is only 400 ml. (Xinhua/Deng
