Skulldiggery
 
Richard Leakey today (left) and as a young man with skulls of ancestors of Homo
sapiens.
The name “Leakey” is synonymous with discovery.
Richard Leakey,
the oldest son of Louis and Mary Leakey, the paleontologists who explored Olduvai
Gorge, in what is now Tanzania, as a hominid fossil site, is a discoverer who
followed in the footsteps of his parents. As speaker for the 2005-06 Cohen
Arts and Lectures program, he’ll discuss “Human
Origins and the Survival of the Species” at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 5, in Johnston
Hall.
With the current debate on whether “intelligent design” should be included in
science curriculums, the topic could not be more timely.
Former director of the National
Museums of Kenya and the Kenya Wildlife Service, and an environmental activist
and conservationist, Richard Leakey is the author of more than 100 articles and
several books, including The Making of Mankind, Wildlife Wars, The
Sixth Extinction,
and Origins Reconsidered. |
