#MaryLeakey 👀 at M.
Wheeler... Quoted in this fab review of her 1984 book:
“I can’t help wondering whether many of the achievements in archaeological discovery and methodology that are so often attributed to him did not rightly belong to his charming and extremely able first wife, Tessa”... p. 37)."

"What of the woman herself? Was it all academic work? By no means was that the case. She was a breeder of pedigree Dalmations..."

👣🌍#MaryLeakey bewies, wie weit Neugier tragen kann: Ohne Uni-Abschluss wurde sie zu einer der bedeutendsten Archäologinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ihre Entdeckung fossiler Fußspuren zeigte, dass frühe Menschen bereits vor über 3,5 Mio. Jahren aufrecht gingen.🦴🔬#Archäologie #Neugier #WomeninSTEM #MINT

Clear remains of #ParanthropusBoisei were discovered on #ThisDayInHistory in 1959 by #MaryLeakey and #LouisLeakey at #OlduvaiGorge, #Tanzania. A crucial example of a separate #hominin evolutionary line, unconnected to us, it likely subsisted on tough grasses, roots, and tubers.

British paleoanthropologist who discovered the first fossilized Proconsul skull, an extinct ape which is now believed to be ancestral to humans, Mary Leakey wrote, "Theories come and go, but fundamental data always remain the same." #MaryLeakey #Theories #fundamentaldata

Let's read the Bible together in the next year. Today our passages are Exodus 23:14–25:40; Matthew 24:29-51; Psalm 30:1-12; and Proverbs 7:24-27. #MaryLeakey #ContemporaryEnglishVersion #BibleReadings #BibleinaYear #Exodus #Matthew #Psalms #Proverbs

"... she will be best remembered by... the find of the fossil footprints at Laetoli, Tanzania, of man-like creatures who walked upright on two legs at least 3.6 million years ago."
