Johanson guests on NPR's Science Friday

On March 6, 2009, National Public Radio’s Science Friday will shine the spotlight on Arizona State University paleoanthropologist Don Johanson. Host Ira Flatow will discuss Johanson’s major find, the 3.2-million-year-old hominid fossil known as Lucy, as well as other evolutionary advances. Listeners can tune in to their local NPR station or visit the Science Friday Web site for a podcast experience.

Johanson is a professor in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' School of Human Evolution and Social Change and founding director of the Institute of Human Origins. His latest book, Lucy’s Legacy: The Quest for Human Origins, is being released this month by the Harmony Books imprint of Random House, Inc.
