Describes the lives of three generations of the first family of palaeoanthropology, and their quest for fossil evidence of human origins Three generations of Leakeys have dug in East Africa for fossil evidence that answers questions about human origins. Louise and Mary, husband and wife, began what would turn into decades of research and fieldwork, often disproving common theories and beliefs of the time. Son Richard would follow in his father's footsteps, along with his wife Meave, and would make spectacular finds as well. Louise, oldest daughter of Richard and Meave, continues the family tradition today with fieldwork in northern Kenya. The Leakey family's achievements have had an enormous impact on our knowledge of human origins and evolution. This biography describes their life in detail, including their discoveries, publications, controversies, and legacy.
