NEW! 25% off the ticket price with code "Lucy50"!

This year is the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the 3.2-million-year-old fossil skeleton, "Lucy." This lecture is the Second Annual Bill Kimbel Impact Lecture and part of a three-day celebration of the 50th anniversary of the discovery.

ASU Institute of Human Origins Founding Director and renowned paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson will engage the audience with the story of "Lucy's" discovery, the controversies of naming a new species, and how this small but complicated ancient human ancestor changed the way we think about how humans developed on Earth. Johanson is also a strong advocate for the human species to rekindle our sense of responsibility for the natural world in today's climate and environmental challenges. This lecture series was begun in 2022 to honor the legacy of former IHO Director William H. Kimbel.
