Mary Leakey flog aus dem Internat, als sie das Chemielabor fast in die Luft gejagt hätte. Ohne Abschluss machte sich die Autodidaktin auf den Weg nach Afrika. Dort stößt sie auf Funde, mit denen sie beweisen kann: Die Wiege der Menschheit liegt in Afrika. Von Florian Kummert (BR 2013)

In this interview, I chat with Penny Haw about Follow Me to Africa, how and why she decided to write about Mary Leakey, writing about a real person, drafting a dual timeline story, creating a fictional character to help tell Mary's story, a strong sense of place, and much more. Penny's recommended reads are: The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander by Denny S. Bryce The Kennedy Girl by Julia Bryan Thomas Happy Is the One by Katie Allen Looking for some great winter reads?

Michael Cremo is a known name in the alternate archaeology community. His and Richard Thompson's 1993 book “Forbidden Archaeology” has been called anunderground classic.But he is an outlier when it comes to extreme human antiquity. Cremo has come to the conclusion that humans – modern humans – have existed on the planet for millions, if not hundreds of millions, of years.This almost dizzying perspective can be derived from the ancient Vedic texts, a tradition that has influenced Michael's worldview deeply.Michael Cremo looked into standard archaeology and found that many archaeologists and paleoanthropologists, over the last century or so, had found anatomically modern human artefacts like bones or footprints embedded in geological strata that were known to be millions of years old.“I thought, why aren't these reports mentioned in the literature today?” Michael says.Well, they are, he explains, but they are interpreted in a way that they can fit in with the current ideas of human history.One example are the footprints paleoanthropologist Mary Leakey found at Laetoli in Tanzania in 1979.Another smoking gun is a finger bone found in Olduvai Gorge, not far from the site of the footprints. The bone does not quite look like it would if it were from another primate or a known prehistoric hominid, but it fits well with the anatomy of modern humans.“Theoretical preconceptions can influence how scientists will react to various categories of evidence”, Michael says.“Evidence that conforms to a particular paradigm will easily pass through this social intellectual filter. You will hear scientists talk about it at seminars. Evidence that doesn't conform is filtered out: ‘It's an anomaly, we'll get to that later'.”An alternative to the rational, physicalist paradigm that dominates archaeology in the West today would be to have a plurality of archaeologies. Cremo highlights theWorld Archaeological Congress and its scientific journal “Archaeologies”.He appreciates the boom in alternative archaeology in recent years.“But we deal with different parts of the time spectrum.”In Michael Cremo's view, the study of paleoarchaeology cannot really be separated from the study of consciousness and what a human being is.“The cosmos is no accident. There is a purpose to it.”“But the cosmos goes through cycles of manifestation and unmanifestation. These cycles go on eternally. In that sense, there is no creation, there is an ongoing event.”And part of that ongoing event is the existence of human beings.“We are present, I believe, because it's in the human bodily vehicle that a conscious self can come to understand the real answer to the question ‘who am I?'”This entails that entire human civilizations have risen and fallen, time and time again, for millions of years.In the Vedic worldview, what science calls the Big Bang is perhaps merely one exhalation in the cosmic breathing, by which universes expand and collapse incessantly.Many people want simple explanations, Michael notes. That goes for Christian literalists and physicalist scientists as well as new age types, who want to explain the mysterious human evolution with extraterrestrial influence.“But the real situation may be a little more complex. There may be threads of all of those things, woven into a beautiful tapestry, and with some overall guiding intelligence”, he says.Our time is crucial in many ways, but with a cyclic Vedic view, this isn't the only crucial era. We entered the most problematic of the fouryugas, world ages, some 5,000 years ago, and we will not leave it until over 400,000 years from now. But there is a silver lining, according to Michael:“Even in the winter there are warmer periods, and we are entering one such now. It will last for 10,000 years.”Michael'swebsiteMichael'sFacebook

Numerosos estudios han demostrado que es tan rico como el de los humanos y que varía dependiendo del entorno y las circunstancias en las que se encuentren. Es más, nuestras consonantes podrían proceder de la vida arbórea de nuestro antepasado común. Se comunican de una manera distinta a la humana, pero con un lenguaje muy elaborado. En los años sesenta y setenta del siglo pasado, el interés por descubrir nuestros orígenes en África estaba en pleno apogeo. Destacaban especialmente Louis y Mary Leakey, que trabajaban en Olduvai. A Louis se le ocurrió que una buena forma de conocer el origen del ser humano y la vida del antepasado común de los simios era estudiar a los otros grandes simios de cerca. Creía, también, que las mujeres tendrían más capacidad de empatizar con los animales y de ganarse su confianza. Envió a Jane Goodall a estudiar a los chimpancés de Gombe (Tanzania). La definición del ser humano tuvo que cambiar porque lo que nos distinguía de otros animales, fabricar y usar herramientas, resultó que ya no era exclusivo de los humanos. Jane había observado a los chimpancés partiendo palos que lue- go introducían en nidos de termitas para alimentarse.

Die britische Archäologin Mary Leakey war eine der bedeutendsten Paläoanthropologinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sie fand das erste Fossil des so genannten Nussknackermenschen, das damals älteste je gefundene Fossil eines Vertreters der Hominini. Verheiratet war Mary Leakey mit dem Paläoanthropologen Louis Leakey.

(An actual theory of human origins). *Licks for the Leakeys: Hear how Doug was “flogged” but good in 8th grade science class, (mostly for acting up), but tangentially, for laughing out loud about assertions regarding human evolution that Mary Leakey herself would later admit were “nonsense.” CORRECTION – the most feared paddler at Doug's government school was actually Mr. Witcher in science class and not Mr. French who belted it out in Auto-Mechanics class, (just in case any old class-mates are keeping track). *One of These Days…. One of These Days, Lucy… Brodie and RSR pursue an edifying and eye-opening evaluation of more of the evidence for a supposed human ancestor called Australopithecus Afarensis in the “scientific” journals, (but named Lucy in the schoolhouse). INSERT Laetoli Footprints IMAGE *The Laetoli Footprints: The Smithsonian claims that Laetoli contains “the oldest documented bipedal footprint trails” (which supposedly belong to afarensis) but in 2005, an article from “Scientific American” reported that: “The prints show that whoever made them had a humanlike foot arch, and the reconstructed A. afarensis foot exhibits just such an arch... The problem, Harcourt-Smith and Hilton say, is that the reconstruction is actually based on a patchwork of bones from 3.2-million-year-old afarensis and 1.8-million-year-old Homo habilis. And one of the bones used to determine whether the foot was in fact arched--the so-called navicular--is from H. habilis, not A. afarensis.” Along with the fact that the Laetoli footprints probably don't even belong to afarensis, they aren't the “oldest documented bipedal footprints”. “Science daily” reported in 2017 that: “Newly discovered human-like footprints from Crete may put the established narrative of early human evolution to the test. The footprints are approximately 5.7 million years old and were made at a time when previous research puts our ancestors in Africa -- with ape-like feet.” This, while nearly annihilating the classic “out of Africa” story, is only one of the many discoveries squeezing evolution. The Smithsonian (like many evolutionists) claims that Afarensis “stood on two legs and regularly walked upright”, but in the same article, pose the questions: “Did Au. afarensis usually walk upright like modern humans, or did they spend more time climbing trees like other living African apes?” and “We know Au. afarensis were capable of walking upright on two legs, but they would have walked differently than modern humans do today; so, what did their bipedal locomotion look like?” Evolutionists J. T. Stern Jr., and R. L. Susman, partially answered those questions when they wrote in the “American Journal of Physical Anthropology”: “The fact that the anterior portion of the iliac blade faces laterally in humans but not in Chimpanzees is obvious. The marked resemblance of AL 288-1 (Lucy) to the chimpanzee is equally obvious… It suggests to us that the mechanism of lateral pelvic balance during bipedalism was closer to that in apes than in humans.” With evolutionists William Harcourt-Smith and Charles Hilton concluding: “afarensis almost certainly did not walk like us or, by extension, like the hominids at Laetoli.” While “afarensis” being occasionally bipedal wouldn't prove that they were human ancestors, (after all, lots of animals are bipedal and apes occasionally walking upright is nothing special) the hypothesis that afarensis was bipedal isn't worth much thought because there are so many Problems with ‘Lucy' as an Upright Walker. Some evolutionists have recognized the issues with “afarensis” as a human ancestor. Algis Vincent Kuliukas wrote in the journal “Advances in Anthropology”: “The general shape of the pelvis of Australopithecus afarensis is confirmed to be fundamentally different from both Homo and extant great apes, and not intermediate between them.” With Britannica defining “Australopithecus” (not just afarensis) as a “group of extinct primates closely related to, if not actually ancestors of, modern human beings”. Which means that the scientists writing for Brittanica are also not convinced that the “most famous human ancestor”, is actually a human ancestor.

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.

This week we're looking back to the early days of the podcast. This remastered classic focuses on the life and work of the queen of paleoanthropology Mary Leakey.

Where did modern humankind come from? Scientists,, scholars, and experts have been trying to find the answer for generations. One of the most prominent among them was Kenyan-born Richard Leakey. His parents, Louis and Mary Leakey, we're also renowned paleoanthropologists whose work centered on finding the origins of modern humans. In 1977, Richard Leakey co-authored at groundbreaking book called Origins. But by 1992, he had Unearthed new material the prompted him to write a sequel, called Origins Reconsidered.

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.  

Hace 18 millones de años, en el Mioceno, la región que hoy ocupa el noroeste del lago Victoria estaba cubierta de selva, con un clima cálido y húmedo. Por aquella época se había empezado a formar el Rift del África Oriental, y el vulcanismo era intenso. Las colinas Kisingiri, en el oeste de Kenia, son los restos de la chimenea de uno de aquellos volcanes, cuyo cono se extendía por lo que hoy son las colinas Rangwe y las islas de Rusinga y Mfangano, en la costa keniana del lago Victoria. Aunque en el Mioceno el lago Victoria aún no existía. El volcán Kisingiri sufrió una serie de erupciones explosivas que cubrieron de cenizas un área de más de cien kilómetros de diámetro. Los fósiles cubiertos por aquellas cenizas, desde orugas y bayas hasta primates y elefantes, se han conservado en un estado excelente. Entre 1947 y 1948, Louis Leakey y su esposa, la antropóloga Mary Leakey, llevaron a cabo la primera excavación sistemática en la isla de Rusinga. Allí desenterraron unos quince mil fósiles, entre los que se encontraron restos de Proconsul, un mono arborícola sin cola, de brazos largos, que se desplazaba a cuatro patas sobre las ramas.

Eigentlich wollte Mary Leakey nur Gassi gehen. Doch die Hunde-Runde in der Olduvai-Schlucht in Tansania führte sie zu einer der größten Entdeckungen der Paläontologie: Am Ende einer Wasserrinne fand die archäologische Zeichnerin 1959 den bis dahin ältesten, vollständig erhaltenen Schädel eines menschlichen Vorfahren.

Welcome to our first episode of 2021! Super excited to get this year going—we’ve got, I promise, lots of great conversations in store for you. But this week, to kick things off, we have a brief audio essay. It’s about tracks—that’s right, footprints. This might seem at first glance like a narrow topic but, fear not, it contains multitudes. I started thinking about this theme a month or so ago after the first snowfall of the winter. It was just a dusting but perfect conditions for clear, distinct footprints. I was out in the park totally transfixed by these crisp perfect animal tracks. (I’m still not sure what kind of animal, some small to medium mammal.) And, anyway, I got to thinking about how many of us have lost touch with tracks—just like we’ve lost touch with so many other natural phenomena, from bird calls to constellations. And I started thinking about the many meanings of tracks. The roles they’ve played. What they can tell us. So that was the seed from which this essay grew. In it we talk about how archaeologists have used trackways to reconstruct our prehistory; about how, according to some, tracking played a role in our cognitive evolution; and we talk about how about tracks are mainstay of myth and metaphor and visual culture. Lots here folks—I think you’ll enjoy it.   A text version of this essay is available on Medium.   Notes and links 2:45 – The Laetoli prints have been written about in numerous places. Early reports by Mary Leakey and colleagues are here and here. A brief, accessible, up-to-date overview is here. 4:15 – The 2013 prints from Norfolk, England are widely known as the Happisburgh prints. Read the original report here. 4:40 – Read the paper about the 2020 prints from White Sands National Monument here. A popular article about the trackway can be read here. 6:15 – Read Kim Shaw-Williams’ “social trackways theory” paper here. More recently, he has expanded these ideas to cover the evolution of language. 8:20 – A 2003 paper by Deborah Wells and colleagues, about the directional tracking abilities of dogs, can be read here. A follow-up is here.  9:30 – Louis Liebenberg’s book The Art of Tracking: The Origin of Science can be read here. 10:45 – The Robert Macfarlane quote comes from his book The Old Ways. 11:00 – Ethnographic evidence of peopel's ability to recognize individual tracks in some communities is discussed by Liebenberg and Shaw-Williams. 11:30 – Wikipedia has articles about the Ciguapa and Curupira. Read about the Konderong here. The number words of the Xerénte can be read about here. Sesotho time metaphors are briefly mentioned here. 12:15 – Read about the origins of Chinese characters in bird tracks here. View scanned pages of the Boturini Codex here. 13:55 – One recent new analysis of the Laetoli prints can be read here. Another striking recently reported ancient trackway is mentioned here. 14:20 – The Emerson essay from which this quote comes can be viewed here.

Welcome, hello, G’Day, hi, we are glad to announce the latest episode from Nerds Amalgamated is here. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it for you. Also as Supanova Brisbane has now happened we have to say thank you to all those who stopped by the booth, it was fantastic to meet you all. We hope everyone enjoyed the week end and have lots of photos to remember how cool it was. It was awesome seeing so many amazing cosplayers and catching up with our friends from Comics2Movies, the Sons of Obiwan, Jamie Johnson, Super Tee, Cyanide Pop Press among so many others. First up this week we have facial recognition drones being utilised by Police Scotland to help find people who get lost. That’s right folks, AI drones using facial recognition to find individuals. Now, we know what you are thinking, hang on, this is a problem, next we know it will be used for… You will need to listen in to find out more. But we are sure you will enjoy it and have a laugh. Second, we have news that is promising for game developers and gamers all over the world. Yep, that is a bold claim, but we are sure you will agree when you hear it. Those legends at Take Two have discussed the future of gaming and the expectations of a drop in the costs of game development. What is suggested is great and worth looking forward to. We have some fun on this topic and really get into it. Our third topic for the week is about Stargate Command. No, the Goa'uld aren’t attacking, and the Wraith haven’t found the way through the Stargate to our universe. No, it is sad news, but possibly good news also. That’s right, a little bit of good news to look forward to that off sets the bad news. Now for the fans of Stargate this news is pretty big, and for those who need to evolve their appreciation then you better hurry up. The Professor and Buck are now contemplating a marathon viewing based on this news. Want to know what this news is you know what to do. As normal we have the shout outs, birthdays, remembrances, and special events. As always, thank you for listening, take care of yourselve’s, look out for each other and stay hydrated.Facial Recognition Drones - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-50262650Take Two’s hot take on Next gen - https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-09-19-next-gen-wont-see-dev-costs-spike-take-twoMGM shutting down Stargate Command - https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/11/01/mgm-shuts-down-stargate-command/Games currently playingBuck– Call OF Duty WW2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/476600/Call_of_Duty_WWII/Prof– Call Of Duty WW2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/476600/Call_of_Duty_WWII/DJ- Did Not PlayOther topics discussedDrone Interrupts soccer match- https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/15/albania-charged-uefa-serbiaChinese police anti drone guns- https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2079045/chinese-police-force-equipped-anti-drone-gunsHong Kong bans make up- https://boingboing.net/2019/10/05/facially-absurd.htmlHong Kong ban masks- https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/hong-kong-protesters-rally-ban-wearing-masks-191004144726630.htmlDutch police use eagles to hunt drones- https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/12/16767000/police-netherlands-eagles-rogue-drones‘Missing’ Icelandic tourist- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/missing-icelandic-tourist-goes-in-search-of-herself-8096831.htmlAn Aspie Life (PC Game)- https://store.steampowered.com/app/786410/An_Aspie_Life/Joseph Mallozzi’s blog post on the future of Stargate Command site- https://josephmallozzi.com/2019/10/31/october-31-2019-stargate-command-and-the-future-of-stargate/New Melbourne Brown Coats (Firefly & Serenity fan club in Melbourne Victoria)- https://www.facebook.com/newmelbournebrowncoats/Drostand Hynd (Call of Duty : WWII Character voiced by David Tennent)- https://callofduty.fandom.com/wiki/Drostan_HyndThe Monuments Men (2014 war film directed by George Clooney, and written and produced by Clooney and Grant Heslov.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monuments_MenCanadarm (also known as Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS))- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CanadarmChicken Run 2- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Run_2Hulk (2003 American superhero film directed by Ang Lee based on the fictionalMarvel Comicscharacter of the same name.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_(film)Lou Ferrigno (American actor, fitness trainer, fitness consultant and retired professional bodybuilder)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_FerrignoThe Incredible Hulk (2008 American superhero film directed by Louis Leterrier based on the Marvel Comics character the Hulk, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Universal Pictures)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Hulk_(film)Shoutouts4 Nov 1922 – In Egypt, British archaeologist Howard Carter and his men find the entrance to Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

Volvemos con el programa de Sin Género de Dudas. En esta ocasión os dejamos la píldora de "Inventoras y descubridoras" donde podrás descubrir los descubrimientos de muchas mujeres, así como su historia. Con las voces de Alba Ferrera, Tania Lezcano y Jéssica Murillo pasarás un rato estupendo de aprendizaje. Hoy traen a la científica Wang Zhenyi, Mary Leakey y Dorothy Levitt.

Wat is die evolusie van die mens? Mary Leakey het haar man gestaan en geskiedenis gemaak met 'n ontdekking in Oos-Afrika op 17 Julie 1959.

Mary Leakey war eine der bedeutendsten Paläoanthropologinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sie fand unter anderem das erste Fossil des so genannten Nussknackermenschen.

Mary Leakey erforschte die frühe Menschheitsgeschichte in Ostafrika. Mit ihren Funden konnte sie beweisen, dass die Wiege der Evolution nicht - wie bis dato gedacht - in Asien liegt, sondern in Afrika.

En este programa nos acercamos a la historia. Hablaremos de evolución con Anxela y conoceremos a Mary Leakey. Contaremos con una nueva sección donde nuestra madrina Laura Morrón nos hablará de inventos e inventores. Y ya por último, Hugo y Angel nos hablarán sobre Marte.

Ein wunderbares Urzeitforscher-Pärchen: Sie, Mary Leakey, machte seit ihrer Kindheit, was sie wollte. Er, Louis Leakey, war Archäologe in Cambridge und zeigte vor allem als Frauenheld seine Gestaltungsfreiheit. Das Glück schlug sich letztlich auf ihre Seite: Am 17. Juli 1959 entdeckte sie die Überreste von Australopithecus boisei, eines unserer entfernten Vorfahren. Autorin: Carola Zinner
