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.
