             by Donald Johanson and T. White in 1978. The species was eventually accepted by most.

             chimpanzee's . She was an ape with a human looking body but underdeveloped skull and.
             brain. We obviously still had a long way to come in the 3.18 million years between then.
             and now, but Lucy already showed clear differences from the normal apes. The shape of.
