Australopithecus afarensis. Called Lucy. 3.2-million-year-old skeleton. Found 40 years ago. Ethiopia. Upright walker? Or tree swinger? Or both? Trunk and limbs for climbing? Lower body for walking? The debate goes on. Ref: http://www.popsci.com/new-evidence-that-our-hominid-cousin-lucy-loved-climbing-trees
