The Ledi-Geraru Research Area is located in northeastern Ethiopia betwen two river basins, the Awash and the Ledi. The first field expedition to the area was conducted in 2002, after earlier research in 1972-1974. The oldest fossil from the human genus homo, the mandible known as LD 350-1 was found at this site in 2013. This site is just a dozen miles from where Lucy was discovered in 1974.
