Highland dancers compete during the Argyllshire Gathering on August 28, 2025 in Oban, Scotland. The Oban Games, a day of intense Highland rivalries and competition, are a key part of the historic Argyllshire Gathering. Founded in 1871, the Gathering began as a way to unite the clans of Argyll — a region encompassing over 20 islands on the western coast of Scotland — through traditional Highland sports. Over time, it has evolved into an annual summer celebration of Scottish heritage and community. (Photo by Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images)

A 3D realistic model of 3.3 million-year-old human fossil 'Selam' exhibited during the opening of the exhibition named 'People and Their Ancestors,' featuring original fossils of 'Lucy' and 'Selam,' at the National Museum in Prague, Czech Republic, 25 August 2025. The Czech National Museum in Prague is hosting the first-ever European exhibition of 'Lucy' and 'Selam,' two of the most iconic fossils of Australopithecus afarensis. Lucy, a partial skeleton of an adult female who lived about 3.2 million years ago, was discovered in 1974 in Hadar, Ethiopia, by a team led by paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson. Selam, the remarkably complete skeleton of a three-year-old girl who lived around 3.3 million years ago, was unearthed in 2000 in Dikika, Ethiopia. Lucy had previously been exhibited outside Ethiopia only in the United States, while Selam has never been displayed abroad. Neither fossil is permanently exhibited at the Ethiopian National Museum in Addis Ababa. The exhibition takes place from 25 August to 23 October 2025. EPA/MARTIN DIVISEK

The Czech National Museum in Prague is hosting the first-ever European exhibition of 'Lucy' and 'Selam,' two of the most iconic fossils of Australopithecus afarensis. Lucy, a partial skeleton of an adult female who lived about 3.2 million years ago, was discovered in 1974 in Hadar, Ethiopia, by a team led by paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson. Selam, the remarkably complete skeleton of a three-year-old girl who lived around 3.3 million years ago, was unearthed in 2000 in Dikika, Ethiopia. Lucy had previously been exhibited outside Ethiopia only in the United States, while Selam has never been displayed abroad. Neither fossil is permanently exhibited at the Ethiopian National Museum in Addis Ababa. The exhibition takes place from 25 August to 23 October 2025. EPA/MARTIN DIVISEK",
