I was born around 3.2 million years ago in what is now known as the Afar Triangle in Ethiopia. I lived in groups where males were much larger than females, similar to apes living today, like gorillas, and to a lesser extent, chimpanzees. I was primarily a fruit eater, but sometimes I snacked on lizards and the eggs of birds, crocodiles, and turtles. To avoid becoming a midnight meal for some hungry carnivore, I often slept in trees. I died at the edge of a lake and fell into the water, where my bones fossilized. I don't remember exactly what happened. It was a really long time ago.
