My Books

The Lucy Man: The Scientist Who Discovered the Most Famous Fossil Ever! (Prometheus, 2011).

In 1974, Dr. Donald Johanson found a 3.2 million year old fossilized skeleton of one of our human ancestors. She is called Lucy, Dinkinesh, and Australopithecus afarensis.
Dr. Johanson knew that Lucy walked upright and was important in figuring out how we became human. Lucy made him famous and changed his life, but Don and Lucy changed the science of paleoanthropology, the study of human evolution. Read the tale of how Don found Lucy, go on a dig with scientists in the African desert, and learn about how we became human. At the same time, catch Don's enthusiasm for science as you read about his life, including his dedication to his career, the risks he took to become a successful scientist, and his passion to share science with the general public.
