Dr. Dan Gebo discusses history of human evolution

By Brandon Semel | March 4, 2015

Graduate anthropology student Steve Jankiewicz listens as anthropology professor Dan Gebo explains the history of the discovery of human origins in Africa. Participants traveled to Madison, Wisc., to hear from Donald Johanson of Arizona State University. He discovered the most complete skeletons of one of our earliest human ancestors: Lucy. Johanson's talk, The Story of Us: Becoming Human, was sponsored by National Geographic Live.
