Paleoanthropologist Mary Leakey, much awarded and sometimes known as the Grande Dame of Archaeology, was remarkable. Not just for her fossilsed discoveries back in the 1950’s-70’s of skulls and tools dating back 200 million years, but for the extraordinary life she led – moving from Londonto East Africa.
She was also the wife of paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey, and co-founder ofThe Leakey Foundation, but inFollow Me To Africa – its Mary’s own story that Penny Haw de Vos tells.
