Lucy n'est qu'un surnom donné en souvenir d'une chansons des beatles que les chercheurs écoutaient tous les jours . Son véritable nom : Australopithecus afarensis veut dire singe du sud venant de l'Alfar.

[Ref :] Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah, ah Follow her downto a bridge by the fountain where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies. Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high. |
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone. Ref. Picture yourself on a train in a station With plasticine porters with looking glass ties, Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile, The girl with caleidoscope eyes. Ref... |
