Lucy Might Lose Her Human Ancestor Crown

Plot twist in human evolution! For decades, we thought the famous 'Lucy' fossil was our great-great-great (etc.) grandma, but new research is shaking things up. Some scientists now say an even older species, Australopithecus anamensis, could be our real ancestor. Others aren’t convinced and think Lucy’s still in the running. The debate is getting spicy, and honestly, our family tree just got a lot bushier. Who knew our roots were this tangled? #History #HumanEvolution #LucyFossil
