Let Lucy sparkle: An icon of world heritage is soon to be displayed in Houston, Texas. Named Lucy after a Beatles song, the 3.2 million-year-old fossil has had a huge impact on our understanding of the anatomy and capabilities of the australopithecines, one of the key groups that preceded the first Homo species. Yet prominent anthropologists would stop the tour. Jill Cook, deputy keeper of the Department of Prehistory and Europe at the British Museum, argues against the view that only a chosen few might see the evidence for the beginnings of humanity.
