Disclaimer

• We will skip paragraph 1.2 of the second edition 
• I do not deny nor agree with the theory of evolution, but as an historian I am not trained in the theory itself nor either its truthfullness or untruthfullness 
• Therefore we will use paragraph 1 of first edition to replace paragraph two of the second edition. 
• Write on top of page 7 of the second edition:
• SEE FIRST EDITION paragraph 1.1 (TB 8 - 10) 

Lucy

Our historical trip starts near the small village of Hadar in Ethiopia. On a very hot day in 1974, two men were looking for fossils. Fossils are remains of plants or animals that are preserved in stone. Many fossils can be found in Ethiopia and throughout the rest of the Great Rift Valley in Africa.

The men were scientists and particularly interested in remains of early humans. Their search was a success, because they discovered some old and very special bone fragments.

The fossilised bones were part of a skeleton that was 3.2 million years old! At first, the scientists thought that the skeleton was just like a small female chimpanzee. But when they looked closer, the scientists found out that this animal had been able to walk on two legs. The scientists were incredibly happy because they had just discovered the oldest skeleton of an early human in the world!
