Which of the following statements about the recent discovery of the world's oldest child, dubbed "Lucy's Baby," is FALSE?
A) The 3.3-million-year-old fossilized toddler was uncovered in northern Ethiopia.

D) She is a member of Au. afarensis.
E) Her remains, which are amazingly complete, include a remarkably well-preserved skull, baby teeth, tiny fingers, a torso, a foot, and a kneecap.
