See Richard Leakey in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Richard Leakey, former Director of Kenya's National Museums and Wildlife Service, is the son of Mary Leakey and Louis Leakey, the husband of Meave Leakey, and has arguably made the most important discoveries in the history of paleoanthropology. After a series of impressive Homo habilis and Homo erectus finds in the early 1970's, Leakey was to discover the spectacular "Turkana Boy" in 1984, a nearly complete Homo erectus child, and only a year later, the first Australopithecus aethiopicus specimen.
