Join renowned paleoanthropologist Dr. Donald Johanson and New York Times science journalist Carl Zimmer on the fiftieth anniversary of a major milestone in paleoanthropology — Johanson’s discovery of “Lucy,” one of the oldest known skeletons of an early human ancestor.
Discovered in Ethiopia’s Afar region in 1974, Lucy is about 3.2 million years old. Though similar in size to a chimpanzee, her bone structure showed she walked upright — a key development in human evolution. Lucy’s discovery by Dr. Johanson attracted worldwide attention. Join Johanson and Carl Zimmer as they discuss why her discovery remains significant for understanding human evolution, what Lucy has revealed about our origins, the circumstances surrounding her unearthing, and why she continues to captivate us.

In his accessible account of neurosurgery, Dr. Schwartz shares how surgeons make life-or-death decisions for patients who entrust them with their lives and identities. Warm and insightful, it’s an unparalleled look at his practice and the remarkable advances in neurosurgery over the past century. Hear him and Dr. Gupta discuss Dr. Schwartz’s unique perspective on the brain, real patient stories, the future of neurosurgery, and more.
