Leaky's expeditions

Leaky's expeditions refer to the archaeological efforts led by Louis and Mary Leakey, prominent figures in paleoanthropology. From the 1930s to the 1980s, they explored East Africa, particularly the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, uncovering critical fossil evidence of early human ancestors. Their discoveries, including "Australopithecus" and "Homo habilis," helped shape our understanding of human evolution, showing that the origins of humans may trace back millions of years in Africa. The Leakeys' work emphasized the importance of fossils in studying human history and provided insights into our evolutionary past.
