Lucy 50 Monthly Lecture Series—Donald Johanson PhD

Join ASU Institute of Human Origins researchers in 2024 for a year-long “master class” in human origins research as they illuminate the many facets of how we “became human” and what that means for the future of humans on the planet. Donald Johanson—A Connection to the Natural World Many consider Donald Johanson to be among the most important and accomplished paleoanthropologists of our time. Over the course of his illustrious career, he has produced some of the field’s groundbreaking discoveries, including the most widely known and thoroughly studied fossil find of the 20th century—the “Lucy” skeleton, discovered in 1974. It has now been 50 years since the discovery of the Lucy skeleton—the first human ancestor who reliably walked on two feet 3.2 million years ago. The discovery ignited a worldwide interest in our origins and changed the way we think about human history on Earth—why did Homo sapiens flourish as other ancient ancestor species went extinct? Today, Johanson remains a highly visible public scholar on the importance of understanding human origins to society and anthropology’s best ambassador to a lay audience. Through his books, films, lectures, and media appearances, he speaks eloquently on the power of the knowledge that as stewards of Earth, we have an opportunity to actively promote a balance with nature grounded in science with an aim to protect and preserve our species and our planet’s health.
