Dr. Leakey was a paleoanthropologist whose research and studies led to the conclusion that humans evolved in Africa. He is also noted for conducting extensive research of primates in their wild habitats.

Raymond Dart is a celebrated anthropologist and anatomist who discovered the earliest fossil of Australopithecus africanus, an extinct hominid, related closely to humans.
