00:00She's not your average tourist.
00:04Meet Lucy, a 3.2 million year old hominem from Ethiopia.
00:09Discovered in 1974, her bones provided crucial evidence that our early ancestors worked upright.
00:18Both skeletons are among the rarest exhibits of the world heritage.
00:23They are over 3 million years old and appear in a European country for the first time.
00:30Now in Prague, Lucy and the child fossil Salem are both Australopithecus affarensis.
00:42They are part of a new exhibition tracing 7 million years of human evolution.
00:50Some say their story offers a stark warning to humanity today.
00:55Lucy's species, that tongue twister Australopithecus affarensis, lived for almost a million years.
01:06We have been around for a couple hundred thousand years.
01:10If we were going to equal the time that she walked the planet Earth, we would have to live 9000 more centuries.
01:18And yet here, at the beginning of the third millennium, we are questioning the validity and the length, the survival of our own environment.
01:30Standing just over a meter tall, Lucy is one of the most famous fossils in the world.
01:39Her bones provided the first profound evidence that our early ancestors not only walked upright,
01:45but studies of her strong arms suggest she also climbed trees, likely nesting in them at night.
01:52Long considered our oldest known relative, Lucy was eventually dethroned by older finds like Adi and Tumai.
02:12Yet, her story remains a cornerstone of human evolution.
02:16It is so true for a moment.
