Donald Johanson
Donald Johanson is an American paleoanthropologist best known for discovering the fossilized remains of 'Lucy,' one of the oldest and most complete hominid skeletons ever found. His work has significantly contributed to our understanding of human evolution, although the asteroid named after him, which was recently photographed by NASA's Lucy spacecraft, is not his primary scientific focus.
