{ Louis Seymour Bazett Leakey 1903-1972 }
ritish / Kenyan archaeologist and anthropologist who became famous for his academic work centered on human origins. Louis Leakey, his wife Mary, and their second son Richard made the key discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the rst men. Richard Leakey and his wife, Maeve, sustain a family legacy of research that is now, with the work of their daughter Louise, three generations deep.
To me its a question of being able to look backward and give the present a root To give meaning to where we are today, we need to look at where weve have come from.
Richard Leakey, in National Geographic, February 1998

particular Olduvai Gorge, a 300-foot-deep, thirty-mile-long chasm not far from the Ngorongoro Crater. It was made famous by a German entomologist named Wilhelm Kattwinkel, who rst discovered its value in 1911.

Louis Leakey was born in Kabete, British East Africa, now Kenya, into a missionary family. At the age of twelve he found his rst fossils, and knew that he wanted to be an archeologist. Leakey graduated from Cambridge, and set out to prove Darwins theory that Africa was humankinds homeland. At that time it was believed that early man originated in somewhere Asia. Between the years 1926 and 1935 he led a series of expeditions in East Africa in search of mans fossil ancestors. He was interested in

Leakey dug at Olduvai two decades without nding anything especially signicant. His rst marriage with Frieda Leakey ended in divorce in 1933, when he met and fell in love with 20 year old Mary Douglas Nicol; they married in 1936. With Mary he collected early manmade tools, mostly made of basalt and quartzite, and fossilized bones of many extinct mammals. His rst major discovery was the jaw of a pre human creature called Proconsul. Leakey was active in promoting game preserves in East Africa. His interests and writings were wide, including all aspects of African natural history, primate behaviour and the origins of man. About the font:

Olduvai began as a sketches drawn with a pencil at 1cm high. The rough, handlettered texture makes the result ideal in display, but the underlying glyph structure developes excellent texture and is suprisingly legible at text sizes. Initial caps, borders and ornaments and add value for the discriminating typographic aficionado, and must-have marketing appeal for advertising & design applications.
