We start out with the sad news that Mark Edward has passed away. Mark was a mentalist, an author, and an active skeptic. Mark, sometimes with with his partner (and good friend of the show) Susan Gerbic, investigated many paranormal claims and exposed psychic frauds. He will be long remembered and missed by the skeptics movement.After some listener feedback and catching up, we go to TWISH, where we hear about Louis Leakey and his important, but often controversial, contributions to our understanding of ancient hominids. Then we turn to the news:GERMANY: New book about long COVID and ME/CFS by Dr. Natalie GramsSWEDEN: More fertility nonsenseUK: The role of misinformation in the riots following the Southport stabbingsUK: Practitioner of ‘slapping therapy' guilty of manslaughterINTERNATIONAL: Reducing the number of AI ‘hallucinations'The Baden-Württemberg Medical Association in Germany has taken the long-overdue, but very welcome decision to exclude homeopathy from any medical training going forward, and for that they receive this weeks award for being Really Right.Enjoy!Link: https://theesp.eu/podcast_archive/theesp-ep-439.htmlSegments:0:00:26 Intro0:00:51 Greetings0:09:41 TWISH0:19:37 News0:45:29 Really Right0:51:32 Quote0:52:46 Outro0:54:01 Outtakes Hosted on Acast.

The discovery of Lucy, a fossil from the 1970s, changed paleoanthropology. Before Lucy, scientists saw human ancestors as rough guides, not distinct species. This mindset dominated the interpretation of fossils. Lucy's discovery, representing a new species called Australopithecus afarensis, showed the need to define species clearly. The clash of old and new views was seen in a 1981 debate between Richard Leakey and Donald Johanson. Leakey's refusal to offer an alternative emphasized flaws in traditional practices. This marked a shift towards a better understanding of human origins and diversity, despite some scientists holding onto old ways.

I can't remember enjoying a story more than Peter Marshall's Mother Leakey and the Bishop. The way Peter tells the story is absolutely brilliant with walk on parts from some very famous characters. At heart though it is a ghost story and the story of how an Anglican Bishop came to be hanged for the crime of sodomy in Dublin in the winter of 1640. Peter is one of the leading historians of the Reformation and won the Woolfson prize for his book Heretics and Believers. And as I say in the introduction to the podcast the story he has uncovered here is 'an absolute banger!'

Where will you be on April 8, 2024? In case that date isn't burned into your brain, it's the day the sun, Earth, and the moon will completely align, creating a total solar eclipse that will sweep over a section of the United States. It will plunge cities around the U.S.—from Austin, Texas, to Buffalo, New York, into darkness for up to four minutes and 27 seconds and, according to our guest today, will be “the greatest science event in human history.” That's because it's going to be one of the most accessible celestial events to happen in recent times: The path of totality crosses some of the most populated areas of the United States, and astro-tourists will flock to places like Texas in droves. Scott Roberts, today's guest, will also be there, guiding a small group of people through the event at a ranch in Leakey, Texas. To be honest, I wasn't planning on traveling for the eclipse, but after interviewing Scott, I started to wonder if I'm missing out: He likens viewing an eclipse to some of his peak life experiences, nearly up there with witnessing childbirth. He's seen four solar eclipses since he started photographing them as a young man, and now he's a kind of eclipse evangelist. Maybe you, like me, didn't make plans to see the eclipse. Or maybe you've had your plans locked in since 2022. Either way, Scott has a nugget of wisdom for you, from how to view your first solar eclipse (hint: just enjoy it) to the reason we should all celebrate the sun's rise every day. He's also an avid Airstreamer and has been traveling around the country in a 1968 Overlander named Barbara Jean after his travel-loving mom. He shared how he downsized to the Airstream lifestyle and how this kind of travel allows him freedom to follow his celestial obsessions.

I was privileged to join the Band of Runners this past weekend in Leakey, Texas, for its annual Band Camp. It is a trail running event for veterans and their families. I was a pseudo-mentor, chronicling the event but participating in a group's activities: meal cleanup, prep, yoga, running form, running various courses/miles. I enjoyed it so much. I met so many inspirational folks and made lifelong friends. Again, trail-running is all about the stories. Expect to hear many, many more. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestubborntortoise/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestubborntortoise/support

Nestled along the Somerset coast, Watchet is a captivating harbor town steeped in history and blessed with breathtaking geography. Watchet's origins trace back to a possible Iron Age fort, Daw's Castle, before evolving into a bustling settlement under Saxon influence, earning names like Weced and Waeced. Viking incursions in the 10th century failed to extinguish its spirit, as the town's maritime trade steadily flourished. Amidst this historical tapestry, the town's church, dedicated to Saint Decuman, stands as a testament to its enduring legacy. Watchet isn't merely a town; it's a living narrative of resilience and natural wonder, inviting all who venture there to partake in its captivating story. My Special Guest is Bobbie Rammond Bobbie Rammond is a history and archaeology enthusiast, with a degree in history, heritage, and archaeology from Plymouth University. During his time at university, he discovered his passion for history while working at Dunster Castle. This led him to delve into paranormal investigations, which he has been doing for several years. Last year, with Halloween approaching, Bobbie had an idea to combine his love for history and the paranormal by organising historical walking tours of Dunster. This sparked the creation of Extours, with their first event being the Dunster Ghost Walk. Ghost Lore The Somerset specter, Old Mother Leakey, tied to storms and shipwrecks in Minehead, haunted Alexander Leakey's home in 1636. Witnesses claimed the ghost suffocated a young relative, and Elizabeth, Alexander's wife, faced its torment. Old Mother Leakey assigned Elizabeth two tasks: retrieve a gold necklace and deliver a cryptic message to her brother-in-law, Dr. John Atherton, Bishop of Waterford. This seemingly benign message unravelled scandalous secrets, including Atherton's affair with Susan Leakey, branded as adultery and incest. Dark rumors of child murder to hide the affair swirled, leading to Atherton's hanging in December 1640. Old Mother Leakey's ghost played a role in this tragedy, leaving the Leakey family's fortunes in ruins and birthing the legend of her storm-summoning powers. Premature Burial Premature burial, often referred to as live burial or vivisepulture, is the horrifying ordeal of being interred while still alive and was once a very real problem. Taphophobia, the irrational dread of being buried alive, ranks among the most prevalent phobias, haunting the subconscious fears of many with its chilling specter. In this episode, you will be able to: 1. Uncover the story of Lady Wyndham and more about the problem of premature burial 2. Explore myths, history and accounts of murder from Watchet 3. Explore the fascinating folkore and ghost lore of Watchet.

Tammy Leakey disappeared from Verdun, a borough of Montreal, in 1981. Tammy went on an errand to a local grocery store and never returned. Her mother reported her missing, but a local man found Tammy's body in a field along the road about an hour after the report. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the disappearance and murder of Tammy Leakey. It's known that Tammy made it to the store, and her purchases were found in a paper bag just off the curb. A woman came forward to say she saw a man in a trench coat force a young girl into a small red car. This is thought to have been Tammy. Residents were so incensed that they called for more police action and even set up civilian patrols.

Certain fields of science attract broad interest because of what they tell us about humanity, and no field does this more directly than paleoanthropology. Today we explore the history of paleoanthropology with a focus on Louis and Mary Leakey, who made key discoveries at an inflection point of our understanding of human evolution. With us to discuss this history is Evan Hadingham. Evanis the Senior Science Editor of the award-winning PBS series NOVA. Today we discuss his new book, Discovering Us, Fifty Great Discoveries in Human Origins, published in partnership with the Leakey Foundation in 2021.

Craig's Sholley’s experiences with wildlife and conservation began in 1973 as a Peace Corps volunteer in Zaire. As an L.S.B. Leakey grant researcher in the late 1970s, Craig studied mountain gorillas with Dian Fossey and, in 1987, became director of Rwanda's Mountain Gorilla Project. Craig has acted as Scientific Advisor for the award-winning IMAX film, "Mountain Gorilla," and with National Geographic, he surveyed the conservation status of mountain gorillas in the aftermath of Rwanda's civil war. Craig’s direct involvement with AWF began as a Senior Associate and member of AWF’s Board of Trustees. He became a full-time employee of AWF in 2001 and now serves as Senior Vice President. The day we chatted, Craig was in Arusha, Tanzania, putting the final touches on the Mkapa Wildlife Photography Exhibition. I’ve embedded a few amazing photos from the show below.Intro music “Brightside of the Sun,” by Basin and Range. “Like the Love but Love the Pain,” Kwesi; Outro: “Smoke Alarm,” by Carsie Blanton.A little something just for you sweet subscribers:You can view all the finalists in the competition here.

This week, we're heading to Kenya to learn about a very special and exciting opportunity to travel and learn from these specialists in their fields. Dr. Leakey is a paleontologist and anthropologist who spends a great deal of her time doing field work near Lake Turkana. From the famed family of Louis Leakey, she comes by her passion for “fossil hunting” through her DNA. Dr. Tim Collins is a cetacean researcher meaning he spends his time with whales, dolphins and porpoises and Julie Church is a self described marine conservationist whose passion for the “blue planet” is illustrated through her work.On today's episode, we are talking about how a trip to Kenya to learn about the origins of man, the behavior and patterns of whale migrations and the flora and fauna of the lakes in Kenya can make for a meaningful, educational and beneficial travel experience. The whale population that migrates up and down the East African coast has recovered to a degree that now it's easier than ever to witness the great migration of whales in Kenya as well as wildebeest. Tune in to find out more about this exciting opportunity coming up in September 2022 and the prospects for future trips! Today on The Intrepid Traveler: ∙Louise's passion for continuing the work in the field of paleontology begun by her grandfather Louis Leakey∙Tim's experiences with cetaceans on both coasts of the African continent ∙Julie's interest in pulling it all together and connecting the dots through conservation ∙The possibility of doing a migration “double”∙Exclusive behind the scenes opportunities not available to the general publi ∙How sustainability is connected to the core of tourism in East Africa Connect with the guests: Seas4life - safaris, conservation, educationJulie Church on LinkedIn Louise Leakey on LinkedIn Tim Collins on LinkedIn Thanks for tuning in!

In memory of famed conservationist Richard Leakey... In a 1989 interview with Jim, Leakey predicts there will fences around wildlife parks. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
When I was a little girl, all the astronauts were men. We would watch TV shows about Dr. Leakey, the archaeologist. And of course, we loved watching the shows with Jacques Cousteau. These were amazing people. But where were the women? We never saw role models at the time in science and exploration to inspire us. Could we even BE scientists and explorers? Fortunately, now we are starting to hear more of the stories of the women who pioneered the way in those areas. And for young women, and girls, National Geographic brings us “No Boundaries… 25 Women Explorers and Scientists Share Adventures, Inspiration, and Advice.” It's a wonderfully colorful book, filled with bits and pieces of wisdom, and backstories on these women scientists. In this episode, we talk with Gabby Salazar, one of the authors, and a nature and conservation photographer and social scientist, who has traveled the world, living in tropical rainforests and on tropical islands. We'll ask her how they chose the women to be included in the book, which story inspired her, and what she hopes girls and young women will take from this book. It's a conversation sure to inspire you – and the young girls in your life!
Son of famous paleoanthropologists, Mary and Louis Leakey, Richard Leakey was also famous for his discoveries on the origins of early humans, particularly the nearly complete skeletal remains of what became known as Turkana Boy. As a Kenyan of British descent, Richard Leakey lived a fascinating life in East Africa as a researcher and conservationist. In 1989, Leakey was named the head of the Kenyan Wildlife Conservation and Management Department which eventually became what is known today as the Kenya Wildlife Service. At the time, much of Africa experienced historical levels of poaching of elephants for ivory and Kenya's economy was at risk of losing its important wildlife tourism industry. One of Leakey's first decisions was to implement a controversial shoot on sight policy for any poachers. Conservation writer, Jeremy Hance returns to discuss the Leakey family's contributions to science and conservation. Animal Care Software KONG Zoo Zoo Logic ZOOmility
Episode 132 – Mary and Louis Leakey Happy Darwin Day! Mary and Louis Leakey are two of the biggest names in the history of paleoanthropology and human evolution, and they're one of history's most impressive scientific duos.

Kenya's president pays tribute to the late conservationist Richard Leakey, who has died aged 77. Leakey spent his life defending his country's endangered wildlife. Also, we sample the pan-African offerings of award-winning experimental chef Dieuveil Malonga at his Kigali restaurant. And the Great Green Wall struggles to flourish, but dozens of gardens have already sprung up in the Senegalese desert.
How A Former Microsoft Exec Mastered The Perfect Slice—Using Science Who doesn't love pizza? It's a magical combination of sauce, cheese, crust, and maybe even a topping or two. Depending on where you eat it, the ratio of sauce and cheese and toppings changes: Neapolitan, NY Style, and Chicago Deep Dish each have a slightly different recipe. And different methods of baking impart their signature flavor on the end result—whether that's coal, wood, or gas-fired ovens. Nearly every country in the world has some type of variation on the classic. Author Nathan Myhrvold visited over 250 pizzerias all over the world to appreciate their differences. Then he made over 12,000 pizzas, using physics and chemistry to tweak each one slightly. Myhrvold and his co-author, chef Francisco Migoya wrote all about the gourmand experiment in a three-volume, 35-pound set of beautifully illustrated and painstakingly researched books. Ira talks with Nathan Myhrvold, former CTO at Microsoft, founder of Intellectual Ventures and Modernist Cuisine about his discoveries and his most recent book, Modernist Pizza. E.O. Wilson's Indelible Mark On Ecology Ecologist and ant biologist Edward O. Wilson (often called E. O. Wilson) died December 26, at the age of 92. Though he was known for his study of ants and their social behavior, his impact extended much further—from sociobiology, the study of the influence of genetics on behavior, to the way science was taught and understood. His writing twice won the Pulitzer Prize. Wilson appeared on Science Friday many times. In this short remembrance of Wilson, Ira replays selections from past conversations with the scientist, recorded between 2006 and 2013. The Fossil—And Family—Records Of Richard Leakey Paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey died on January 2 at the age of 77. The Kenyan conservationist and fossil hunter was the son of paleoanthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey, who helped redefine the early parts of the human family tree. Richard was part of the team that discovered ‘Turkana Boy,' a Homo erectus skeleton—one of the most complete early hominin skeletons ever found. In later years, he was the director of the National Museum of Kenya, the head of the Kenya Wildlife Service, helped found a political party, and led the Kenyan Civil Service in the midst of an anti-corruption campaign. In this edited interview from 2011, Leakey describes his work in the field, his famous fossil-hunting lineage, and his desire to convince skeptics of the reality of human evolution.
Até Angelina Jolie quis fazer um filme sobre a alucinante e polémica vida de Richard Leakey, queniano responsável por classificar África como berço da Humanidade. A par das suas importantes descobertas de ossadas de hominídeos, Leakey foi também político e conservador da natureza, ficou famoso o episódio em que queimou uma pilha de marfim, mas muitos quenianos, apesar da sua popularidade, contestavam os feitos deste homem branco, produto da era colonial. Morreu dias antes de completar 77 anos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Min video om autisme skapte noe kontroverser, og jeg har lagt ut ny video hvor jeg tar en IQ-test. Jeg får nå min tredje vaksinedose og er spent på det, men er samtidig litt frustrert over at de tre store mediekonsernene i Norge kjøper opp alle små, uavhengige lokalaviser - noe jeg mener er en trussel mot demokratiet. Dr Richard Leakey er død, og jeg forteller litt om mitt møte med ham i Kenya og alt han har gjort for verden. Onsdag 5. jan blir det V.I.Prat med Dag Sørås inne på kritisketenkere.no, og på søndag livestreamer Tone og jeg episode 50 av Virkelig Grusomt.

Ever drink 'shade grown' coffee or eat 'bird friendly' chocolate? Then you've enjoyed the fruits of agroforestry, an ancient agricultural technique practiced on a huge scale across the world which also sequesters a staggering amount of carbon from the atmosphere. Agroforestry is poised for growth as the world searches for solutions to the climate crisis, and this one is special because it also produces grains/fruits/vegetables/livestock, builds soil and water tables, and is highly biodiversity-positive. Today we discuss its power and promise with three guests: Mongabay's agroforestry series editor Erik Hoffner; the director the Center for Agroforestry at the University of Missouri, Sarah Lovell, who discusses agroforestry’s history and extent in the United States, plus what the Biden Administration might do with it; and a true icon in the field, Roger Leakey, an author, researcher, and vice president of the International Tree Foundation. Leakey explains how helps build food security, boosts biodiversity, and reduces conditions that lead to deforestation and migration. Mongabay’s entire series on agroforestry can be viewed here, but here are some features discussed on the show: “Investors say agroforestry isn’t just climate friendly — it’s also profitable” “An ancient ‘indigenous technology’ with wide modern appeal” “Trees are much more than the lungs of the world” “Agroforestry: An increasingly popular solution for a hot, hungry world” Episode artwork: chocolate thrives under a mix of fruit and timber trees, image via World Agroforestry.

The effects of colonialism past and present are visible all over Africa. On this year's anniversary of Africa Liberation Day, African people all over Africa and wherever they may be on this planet must reflect deeply on their history as it relates to their present life conditions and to their future. AFRICA BEFORE SHE WAS COLONISED. Let me now move on to North-East Africa - ancient Egypt, and to other issues about Africa. The well-known archaeologist in Kenya, Dr. L.S.B. Leakey long wrote, "The critics of Africa forget that men of science today are without exception, satisfied that Africa was the place of birth of man himself and that for thousands of years...Africa was at the forefront of all world progress." Affirming this fact, Edem Kodjo, the author of Africa Tomorrow who is also a great researcher on Africa has written, "It is here in Africa that history began. Far from being a gratuitous assertion, this statement is an undeniable scientific fact for which one finds corroboration when one roves the world in search of the remains of the ancient civilizations. According to the present state of research on the origins of the progress of humankind and civilization, the Mother of Mankind; Africa remains the privileged source of the manifestations of intense human creativity." DESTRUCTION OF AFRICA BY IMPERIALISM. Africa was destroyed by imperialist Europe and is still being destroyed by Europe. Through the Berlin Treaty of 26 February 1885, the European imperialists sliced Africa into "Portuguese Africa", "British Africa", "German Africa", "Italian Africa," "Spanish Africa", "French Africa" and "Belgian Africa." There was no Africa left for Africans except Ethiopia, encircled by paupers of land dispossessed people who were now the reservoir of cheap native labor for their dispossessors. https://www.pambazuka.org/global-south/effects-colonialism-africas-past-and-present --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/king-emjay/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/king-emjay/support

Episode 4: In this episode, the host, Angie Gust, continues discussing John Travis’s 12 dimensions of wellness as a way to improve your own personal health and wellness. This episode focuses on eating and the benefits of a whole food plant-based diet. She also discusses food choices in terms of climate change. For instance, eating beef and lamb has a larger greenhouse gas impact than grain, fruits and vegetables. Several personal actions are suggested so that everyone can be part of the solution.

Rememberance, Rescue and Reconciliation - Mark Leakey - 2 Corinthians 5:17-6:2 - 11/11/18 by Holy Trinity Church
A number of years ago I remember seeing in college a film of Dr. Leakey discovering “Lucy,” who at the time – since discredited - was held up as our “earliest ancestor.” What I remember the most is the hushed, reverent, awe-filled tones used in the film, almost as if they were in worship, talking about our supposed origin as humans. Why would this be so since every one of these people would espouse a theory that says all of life only got here by chance and man is just another animal? Maybe it is because deep down we all know this isn’t true. Maybe deep down, in a place we can’t get away from, we understand our existence to be the stuff of awe and mystery…and it is! This is our focus today, Head, Heart, and Hands!
Amity spoiled the end of this historically accurate movie while watching it by going to Wikipedia to try to make sense of the wonky timeline, so this episode starts with a bang. We get to watch a fantastic Sigourney Weaver performance and gorillas – so many beautiful gorillas (and chimpanzees playing gorillas – such range!). Amity wonders when any of this actually is and Lemuel learns us on Leakey. Listen along!

Fine Music Radio — Out of many remarkable and stand-out women in natural history and the environment movement I’m arbitrarily focusing on a few today, just to bring them to mind and acknowledge their amazing achievements, against all the usual odds, plus the dimension of gender discrimination. Jane Goodall, primatologist, anthropologist, activist and so much more. She made her breakthrough by single-mindedness and sheer determination, eventually persuading palaeontologist Louis Leakey to take her on as a secretary and go-fer. She had no particular education, but through the inspired encouragement of Leakey, became one of the acknowledged observers of primate behaviour and a campaigner for conservation and attitudes to the wild. She studied chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, and challenged contemporary science views that only mankind is capable of tool-making. She also established that chimpanzees are not exclusively vegetarians, but also hunters and meat-eaters. Some of her research methods were controversial and criticized by the purists, but she was – is - a dedicated campaigner for wider appreciation of the wild. She also discovered a dark side of chimpanzee behavior – aggression and violence. Which makes them even closer to us in terms of social similarities. I personally can never forget her electrifying presentation and immense impact as a motivational speaker. Dame Jane Goodall, heaped with deserved honours, still thankfully with us and very much alive.

Humans are very verbal compared to other animals. We talk constantly, and our voices can signal many things beyond the meaning of our words. The human voice is also highly differentiated between the sexes. In this live recording of our Being Human event in February 2016, Dr. David Puts explores how studying the human voice can be a good way to gain insight into human sexual selection. Dr. Puts is an associate professor in the department of anthropology at Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on the evolution and development of human sexuality and sex differences. He’s especially interested in how sex hormones influence our psychology, behavior, and anatomy—and how these traits were shaped by sexual selection. About Being Human Being Human mixes short talks from great minds with fun hands-on experiments, drinks, conversation, and storytelling. Each month we explore different aspects of our evolution, our behavior, and the human experience. Join us on July 28th for "Born and Evolved to Run" and learn about the evolution of our remarkable ability for long-distance running. Our speaker will be Dr. Daniel Lieberman of Harvard University.

She talks about how the sudden death of her father forced her to confront a past she'd left behind and begin a journey of discovery into personal and cultural history she knew little about. We talk about making comedy out of dark topics, the effects of colonialism on the continent of Africa (particularly on Kenya where Njambi is from) and how the west views and distorts the lives of people from African countries.

Después de las terribles pérdidas que sufrió en los episodios anteriores, que lo dejaron con punzantes dudas, Charles Leakey se prometió no volver a tomar un caso… Eso, claro, hasta que apareció la mujer adecuada tocando a su puerta. Esta vez, Leakey se vuelve a enfrentar a una pregunta truculenta: ¿dónde está nuestra mente? ¿Podrá nuestro héroe contestarla? ¿A quién podrá preguntarle esta ocasión? Más importante aún, ¿encontrará respuesta a todos aquellos huecos del pasado? ¿Realmente será el último caso de Charles Leakey, investigador privado? Escucha el tercer y, tal vez, último episodio de este personaje. ¡Que lo disfrutes! ---Créditos--- Especialista: Dra.

We humans have evolved very differently from other primates. Is there one thing responsible for humans becoming human? Some evolutionary biologists think that the way we process our food, namely cooking it, could explain why our species developed so differently from others. Did cooking make us human? Dr. Richard Wrangham of Harvard University and Dr. Rachel Carmody of UCSF and Harvard discuss the impact that cooked food has had on human evolution. This episode of Origin Stories was produced by Briana Breen and edited by Audrey Quinn. Music by Henry Nagle. Thanks to Richard Wrangham and Rachel Carmody for sharing their work.

For over 35 years Dorothy Cheney and Robert Seyfarth have been studying wild African primates in order to better understand the evolution of the human mind. In this episode they tell us about their long-term study of free-ranging baboons in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Kinship and rank are tremendously important to these baboons. However, in this sophisticated society there seems to be a certain attentiveness, perhaps an obsession with other individuals’ relationships. Is this similar to how humans create social bonds and alliances, and does personality play a part in the ability of these baboons to survive? Listen and learn how these field researchers have approached these and other questions about how natural selection shapes the primate mind.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to make a major fossil discovery? Arizona State University graduate student Chalachew Seyoum and professor Kaye Reed tell us their exciting story. Seyoum was working as part of a team co-directed by Reed. While searching for hominid fossils at a site called Ledi-Geraru in the Afar region of Ethiopia, he found a fossil jaw sticking out of the 2.8 million year old sediment. That jaw turned out to be the earliest known fossil from our genus Homo. It was around 400,000 years older than any Homo fossil found before. The discovery was published in the journal Science in March of 2015. Dr. Susan Anton from New York University tells us why this find and the time period it's from are important in helping us connect the dots in our picture of early human evolution.

Every day for 55 years a dedicated group of researchers, students, and Tanzanian field assistants have spent their days crawling through thorns and vines as they follow chimpanzees to observe their behavior. They write everything down in notes and on maps and checksheets. It adds up to an impressive amount of data. This episode tells the story of the evolution of data collection at Gombe, what it's like to collect it, and what we can learn from it. Thanks to Anne Pusey, director of the Jane Goodall Institute Research Center at Duke University, and to Emily Boehm, Joseph Feldblum and Kara Walker from Duke University. Origin Stories is a project of The Leakey Foundation. The Leakey Foundation is proud to support ongoing research at Gombe and around the world. Since 1968, we've awarded over 35 research grants to Jane Goodall and other scientists studying chimpanzees at Gombe. Learn more and help support science at leakeyfoundation.org!

Dr. Jane Goodall is a legend. She is a science hero, a trailblazing researcher who inspires people around the world. In this episode, Jane Goodall shares part of the story of how she went from working as a secretary to becoming the world's leading expert on chimpanzee behavior. In 2004, author and Leakey family biographer Virginia Morrell interviewed Jane Goodall for the Louis Leakey Centennial Oral History Project. This never before heard recording covers the time in Goodall's life from 1957 when she arrived in Nairobi, Kenya, to November 1960 when she made her first groundbreaking discovery, one that changed the way we see chimpanzees as well as the way we define ourselves as humans.

One of the things that makes us different from other animals is the way we move around on two feet. Figuring out how and why our ancestors first stood up is one of the big questions in the study of human evolution. Carol Ward is an anatomy professor at the University of Missouri, and she's a paleoanthropologist who studies locomotion in our earliest primate ancestors. She tells the story of one bone and how it answered a question about how one of our most famous early ancestors moved. This is the first episode of Origin Stories, The Leakey Foundation's monthly podcast about anthropology, human origins, evolution, and human and primate behavior. We'll explore what it means to be human and the science behind what we know about ourselves. This show is a project of The Leakey Foundation, and it's made possible with support from Wells Fargo Bank.
Origin Stories is The Leakey Foundation's new podcast about what it means to be human, and the science behind what we know about ourselves. Our show will explore the biology and the millions of years of evolution that shape the way we look and act today.

Michele is excited to have research paleoanthropologist and shamanic practitioner Hank Wesselman return for another mind opening discussion this week on Awakeings Radio. Hank Wesselman is one of those rare cutting edge scientists who truly walks between the worlds. He did his undergraduate work, as well as his Masters Degree, in Zoology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, then went on to receive his doctoral degree in Anthropology from the University of California at Berkeley. A native New Yorker, he has spent much of his life working among traditional tribal peoples, primarily in Africa and Polynesia. He served in the US Peace Corps in the 60's, living among people of the Yoruba Tribe in Nigeria for two years. For the past 30 years, he has conducted research with an international group of scientists, exploring eastern Africa's Great Rift Valley in search of answers to the mystery of human origins. During this time, he has worked alongside such worthies as Dr. Don Johanson, Lucy's discoverer (Lucy was the cover story for National Geographic's July 2010 issue); Professor Tim White, whose expeditions have been featured in several TIME magazine cover stories, as well as members of the famous Leakey family. Hank is also a shamanic student, practitioner and teacher, now in the 28th year of his apprenticeship.
