In 1974, a 3.2-million-year-old fossil rose from the Ethiopian soil and walked straight into the spotlight. Named Lucy, placed upright, pointed forward, she became the green arrow of human evolution. For half a century, she showed the way. Everything neat. Almost too neat.

If 2025 taught humanity anything, it was this: historical mysteries only survive until science shows up with a scanner, a drone, and absolutely zero patience for pretty legends.
