Scientists describe Crocodylus lucivenator ('Lucy’s Hunter'), a 12–15 ft (3.7–4.6 m) crocodile from Ethiopia’s Hadar Formation, as the era’s largest predator around 3.4–3 million years ago and a likely hunter of Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy), with a distinctive mid-snout hump and ambush-style hunting across Hadar’s varied landscapes.
Researchers describe Crocodylus lucivenator, a 12–15 ft ambush predator from the Hadar Formation in Ethiopia dating to about 3.4–3.0 million years ago, likely the ecosystem’s top predator and a hunter of Lucy’s hominin kin.
Scientists identified a new giant prehistoric crocodile, Crocodylus lucivenator (“Lucy’s hunter”), weighing roughly 270–590 kg and reaching about 12–15 ft, as the largest predator in its Hadar-area ecosystem in what is now Ethiopia. Based on 121 fossil remains from the Hadar site, researchers say this ambush predator likely hunted Lucy’s species, Australopithecus afarensis, around 3 million years ago, with a distinctive hump on its snout that may have helped males attract mates.
A viral Instagram video shows Lucy, a Great Pyrenees, getting adorably excited when her mom reveals that Billy will take her for a walk—and even stop by Dunkin’ Donuts for coffee—delighting viewers with a pup’s pure joy.
In interviews about the Tell Me Lies finale, Lucy is expelled after Bree leaks her admission of lying about being raped; future timelines reveal Bree and Wrigley as endgame, while Stephen remains the show's villain. Creator Meaghan Oppenheimer says the ending is closed-ended, with Lucy's path forward involving therapy and a fresh start, and Grace Van Patten discusses the characters’ emotional journeys and the series' decision not to continue beyond Season 3.
A 3.4-million-year-old fossil foot from Woranso-Mille, Ethiopia, is now assigned to Australopithecus deyiremeda, suggesting coexisting mid-Pliocene hominins with distinct locomotor traits and diets. Isotopic analysis of eight Burtele teeth shows a forest-based (C3) diet for A. deyiremeda, differing from A. afarensis (Lucy) and implying ecological partitioning. The finding supports a multi-species, branching view of early hominin evolution and challenges the idea of Lucy as a sole direct ancestor.
A 3.4-million-year-old fossilized foot from Ethiopia, attributed to Australopithecus deyiremeda, suggests this species coexisted with Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy) and had different locomotion and diet, indicating multiple early hominin lineages and challenging Lucy’s status as the direct human ancestor.
Scientists describe KNM-ER 64061, the most complete Homo habilis skeleton yet, dating to about 2.02–2.06 million years ago in northern Kenya, revealing unusually strong arms and upper-limb proportions similar to australopithecines and suggesting a more complex early hominin evolution.
Season 3 kicks off a darker, more explosive arc as Lucy and Stephen’s toxic dynamic resurfaces amid Bree’s wedding drama, the newcomer Alex (Costa D’Angelo) enters the picture, and the season escalates with power plays, a pivotal kiss, and a shocking final act where Stephen blackmails Lucy with a confession video, leaving a Season 4 renewal uncertain.
Scientists have discovered a new early human species, Australopithecus deyiremeda, in Ethiopia's Afar Rift, living around the same time as Lucy, which suggests that human evolution was more complex and involved multiple species coexisting rather than a linear progression.
Fifty years after the discovery of Lucy, a 3.2 million-year-old fossil, scientists have gained extensive insights into her life, death, and the evolution of early humans, revealing her species' adaptability, social behavior, and the challenges faced by our ancestors.
Scientists have discovered a new early human species, Australopithecus deyiremeda, in Ethiopia's Afar Rift, living around the same time as Lucy, challenging the idea of a single dominant ancestor and suggesting a more complex, branching evolution of early humans.
Recent research questions Lucy's status as the direct ancestor of humans, suggesting other species like A. deyiremeda or A. africanus might be closer to our lineage, sparking debate among scientists about human evolutionary origins.
Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is joining Guilty Gear Strive as the final Season 4 character on August 21, 2025. A starter guide video details her gameplay, highlighting her strong neutral, high mobility, unique Monowire whip attacks, ability to apply debuffs, and a powerful Overdrive transition, making her a versatile and strategic fighter.
Guilty Gear Strive's producer discussed the upcoming version 2.0 update, set for 2026, which will include new content such as the character Lucy and potentially more characters hinted at in recent teasers, with more details to be revealed soon.
