Lucy 50 Event Second Annual Bill Kimbel Distinguished Lecture featuring Donald C. Johanson PhD

The ASU Institute of Human Origins (IHO) presents Donald Johanson for the second annual Bill Kimbel Distinguished Lecture. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of “Lucy,” IHO Founding Director Donald Johanson will enthrall 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 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.
