I believe its, "paleoanthropology". Louis Leakey, who was born and raised in Kenya (died in 1972), and initiated as a young man into the Kikuyu tribes, was the first to believe that primates and early man influenced each other in some ways, and found the earliest bones ever found of humans in the Uldavue Gorge in East Africa. He was a real renaissance man, also a ornithologist (study of birds) and found enthusiastic joy in many different areas, leading to many criticizing him for not sticking to one discipline. I think it made him more open to new ideas, to seeing connections and not becoming pedantic. He was very famous when I was a kid, a legend who mentored Jane Goodall, from my hometown of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, and Dian Fossey, whose work and discoveries helped save and protect the great gorillas. He was always in the news, now almost forgotten....

I think I heard that! I wasn't sure or forgot. He was just interested in so much, I love people like that, even though he definitely had his major faults, like we all do. He was so obviously more helpful to Jane Goodall over Dianne Fossey, he just practically had a huge crush on Jane, and constantly praised her to everyone and helped arrange the documentary she did, while almost ignoring Dianne, who was not as pretty (to him), not as easy to deal with and very passionate about her research. I think he was pretty Victorian in his attitudes toward women sometimes, even though h iij s wife was actually the discoverer of the oldest human skulls, etc. I'm not criticizing him wildly, it was just that he was always fair, but who is...
