Selam (DIK-1/1) is the fossilized skull and other skeletal remains of a three-year-old Australopithecus afarensis female hominin, whose bones were first found in Dikika, in the Afar Region of northeastern Ethiopia in 2000 and recovered over the following years.

On 20 September 2006, the journal Nature presented the findings of a dig in Dikika, Ethiopia, a few miles south of Hadar, the well-known site where the fossil hominin known as Lucy was found.

Following is an abstract of the original article describing the baby "Selam", which was authored by Zeresenay Alemseged, Fred Spoor, William H. Kimbel, René Bobe, Denis Geraads, Denné Reed and Jonathan G.

The skull of the approximately three-year-old presumed female shows that most features diagnostic of the species are evident even at this early stage of development.

[citation needed] Examination of the shoulder blade[4] and arms[5] of this specimen has lent support to the idea that Australopithecus afarensis climbed extensively.
