Ethiopian fossil Lucy leaves for her first exhibition in Europe

The fossil of human ancestors known as Lucy left Ethiopia to exhibit in a European museum. The skeleton of Lucy, which is 40%complete, left Ethiopia on Thursday and will be posted at the Czech National Czech Museum for about two months. It was only the second time that his remains have left Ethiopia since their discovery in 1974. Some archaeologists have raised concerns about the safety of his bones during transport, but the experts say they were carefully packed. Lucy was a member of Australopithecus Afarensis, a first human species that lived in Africa between 4 million and 3 million years.
