A team of scientists has conducted a new study of Lucy - the world's most famous fossilised human ancestor - and concluded she probably died when she fell out of a 40 foot tree. The findings from the team of anthropologists at the University of Texas could suggest that Lucy may have been a tree dweller.

Professor John Kappelman is the anthropologist who led the study.
