Zeresenay Alemseged
Zeresenay Alemseged is an Ethiopian paleoanthropologist and was Chair of the Anthropology Department at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, United States. He recently joined the faculty of the University of Chicago. He is best known for his discovery, on December 10, 2000, of Selam, also referred to as "Lucy's child", the almost-complete fossilized remains of a 3.3 million year old child of the species Australopithecus afarensis. The "world's oldest child", she is the most complete skeleton of a human ancestor discovered to date. Selam represents a milestone in our understanding of human and pre-human evolution and contributes significantly to our understanding of the biology and childhood of early species in the human lineage; a subject about which we have very little information. Alemseged discovered Selam while working with the Dikika Research Project, a multi-national research project, which he both initiated in 1999 and leads.
