Lucy , a 3.2 million - year-old hominin relative, couldn't run very fast, a new study says.
Researchers modeled the skeletal and muscular anatomy of Lucy to determine her maximum running speed.
Lucy 's top speed was 11 mph ( 18 km /h) and her energy costs were higher than modern humans.
The study is the first time researchers have directly estimated running ability in Lucy 's species using musculoskeletal modeling.
