Meave Leakey is a paleoanthropologist and zoologist who was part of the research team that in 1999 unearthed the “flat-faced man of Kenya,” a 3.5 million-year-old skull representing an entirely new branch of the early human family tree. This amazing discovery, announced in the journal Nature, has profound implications in understanding the origins of mankind.
