Lucy (also given a second ( Amharic) name dinqineš, or “Dinkenesh” meaning “You are beautiful” or "you are wonderful" is the common name of AL North eastern Africa, and the Afar region in particular was the central focus of these claims until recent DNA evidence suggested origins in south central Ethiopian regions like present-day Addis Ababa(Finfine). ^[3][4] After analyzing the DNA of almost 1,000 people around the world, geneticists and other scientists claimed humans spread from what is now Addis Ababa 100,000 years ago. ^[5][6] The research indicated that genetic diversity declines steadily the farther one's ancestors traveled from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which is roughly the site of the exit turnstile for the "out-of-Africa" migration. ^[7][8]
