Meeting: February 10, 2009 - Mary Bowman-Kruhm - "Human History Carved in Bone": In writing The Leakeys: A Biography I collected stories about the legendary Louis, wife Mary, son Richard and his wife Meave, and granddaughter Louise. I'll share these stories with your group or classes and show them a PowerPoint presentation about the lives of the Leakeys, including photographs of Olorgesailie and Koobi Fora, where I met Dr. Louise Leakey during my own visit to Kenya. I'll also bring a model of 1.8 million year old Zinj, now known as Paranthropus boisei. I'll show a PowerPoint presentation about their lives and how they have confronted the 3 Cs of Controversy, Competition, and Contention (with other anthropologists and with each other) in their quest to fill gaps in human history. I'll also include personal photographs of Olorgesailie and Koobi Fora, where I met Dr. Louise Leakey during a trip to Kenya.
