- Louis and Mary Leakey are important pioneers in our search to understand
- who we are by understanding where we have come from. They were good
- scientists who had the strength of their understandings and the
- patience to spend over 30 years looking for and finding solid evidence
- of early human existence in Africa. A book you probably know but is
- worth looking at is Discovering the Past, An Autobiography by Mary
- Leakey (Double Day, Garden City, NY, 1984 ISBN 0-385-18961-3)
- On page 218 Mary Leakey refers to Leakey's Luck by Sonia Cole (NY, 1975)
- among other books.

- Good luck with your paper. Do post it when it is in draft or final form
- so the world can gain from your work and so you can get some feed back
- and encouragement.
