"Lucy" Officially, named Australopithecus Afarensis Man

3'6" tall "ape-man" like a bonobo chimpanzee, with a chimp-sized brain, long curved fingers and toes for climbing trees, a protruding face, and large molar teeth. Since humans have relatively flat faces and small molars, platyops, being older and more "human," knocks Lucy right out of our family tree.
