Recent discoveries have shed light on the coexistence of early human ancestors, revealing that the infamous Lucy had neighbors. A 3-million-year-old foot fossil, previously a mystery, has now been identified as belonging to another hominin that lived alongside Lucy. This new evidence highlights a complex prehistoric environment where two species shared space, providing new insights into our evolutionary history. Researchers from ASU have confirmed that these ancient bones indicate the presence of another human relative, further illustrating the rich tapestry of our ancestral past.
