The bone fragments of Lucy, a 3.18 million year-old human ancestor which rarely leave Ethiopia, will go on display in Europe for the first time in Prague this year, the Czech premier said Tuesday.

The ancient remains of the Australopithecus afarensis were discovered in Ethiopia in 1974. The find was, at the time, the most complete ever found, and revolutionized the understanding of humanity's ancestors.

The remains will be presented alongside Selam, the fossil of a baby Australopithecus who was about 100,000 years older than Lucy and found in the same place 25 years later.
