@joe Did you know that Dr. Leaky chose namesake "Lucy" because in 1974, camped in Hadar, Ethiopia, he had been enjoying the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"?
@prometheus Well, probably because Leakey and Johanson had a huge fight over Lucy, and Leakey was always the more well-known and famous of the two. Less famous than his dad, but still,.
Indeed! In the entire Wiki on the discovery, Johanson is the lead by far most important discoverer an the only Leaky that was even on the original expedition was Mary Leaky. Only part I had right was about Lucy in the Skies.
