Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Leakey

Dr. Paula Kahumbu stands at the forefront of wildlife conservation, serving as the passionate and visionary CEO of WildlifeDirect. Known for her indomitable spirit in the fight against elephant poaching and ivory trafficking, she has led significant campaigns such as the “Hands Off Our Elephants” initiative alongside Kenyan First Lady Margaret Kenyatta. Educated in ecology and evolutionary biology, Kahumbu's journey from studying primates to becoming an influential figure in conservation was inspired by her early mentorship under Richard Leakey. Her role extends beyond leadership; as a National Geographic Explorer and trustee, educator, and children's book author, Dr. Kahumbu embodies the relentless pursuit of a harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife. Our interview delves into Dr. Kahumbu's passionate commitment to elephants and her innovative efforts to protect wildlife.

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.

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.

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.  

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.

Richard Leakey died at his home outside Nairobi, Kenya, earlier this week. World-famous for his fossil discoveries, the 77-year-old had many careers - paleoanthropologist, wildlife defender, politician and anti-corruption campaigner. Business Daily's Vivienne Nunis met Richard Leakey late last year and recorded this interview with him. He looks back on his life and shares his as yet unrealised plans for a 'cathedral of life with no God', a museum dedicated to evolution on the edge of Rift Valley.

French lawmakers are debating making proof of vaccination required to enter public venues. Previously a recent negative test has been an acceptable alternative, and we get reaction to the proposal from Oliver Woodhead, who owns Paris restaurant l'Entente, and would have to ensure his customers are vaccinated if the new rule is adopted. And we get a sense of how likely it is the proposal will become law from Sophie Pedder of The Economist. Also in the programme, the president of Kazakhstan has dismissed the country's entire government in a bid to quell mass protests against the rising cost of vehicle fuel. Joanna Lillis is a journalist based in Almaty, and explains the background to the dispute. Plus, following his death at the weekend, the BBC's Vivienne Nunis reports on the life of the Kenya-based paleoanthropologist, wildlife defender and anti-corruption campaigner, Richard Leakey. Today's edition is presented by Mike Johnson and produced by Nisha Patel and Russell Newlove.

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.

► Programa del 5 de diciembre del 2021. En el bloque "naturaleza escrita", el politólogo Matías García, nos presenta la obra "La sexta extinción" de Richard Leakey y Roger Lewin.

This is Brian's second very kind foray onto our podcast - he has travelled so extensively in Africa that we could record hundreds of safari podcast episodes with him. His story telling manner, as well as the safari stories themselves, is spell binding. He has just released his memoirs West With The Light and if you only ever read one book about Africa read that. 'Britain's best wildlife writer' – The Scotsman ''A beautifully written book' – Tony Fitzjohn 'Don't send him to Torremolinos; it's not his kind of tundra.' Such was the mantra of The Sunday Times when considering assignments for Brian Jackman, for whom deserts, rain forests and mountain ranges have always been more enticing habitats. After decades spent travelling and writing about the places and wildlife that have inspired him, one of the world's most experienced naturalists has turned his focus onto the story of his inspirational life. 'This is no ordinary autobiography', he says. West with the Light sweeps through Jackman's wartime evacuation, grammar school, Soho jazz clubs of the '50s and the navy to a career in travel journalism to which his first marriage gave way before he found a new, true and more lasting love that abides to this day in his beloved rural Dorset. Beginning with memories of Edwardian London and the growth of suburbia, it provides a vivid portrayal of post-war travel and the rise of a new sort of tourism - ecotourism - set against the background of the most turbulent decades the world has ever known. Through it all shines Jackman's lifelong love of nature, instilled by childhood holidays in the West country and the stories that led to his passion for Africa and the big cats that that still walk through his life and dreams. Rippling across continents with Jackman's natural charm and hallmark stylish prose, his recollections include lively first-hand encounters with pioneering wildlife conservationists like George and Joy Adamson, Iain and Saba Douglas-Hamilton, Richard Leakey, Gavin Maxwell and Jonathan Scott. Travellers, wildlife enthusiasts, writers and anyone with a love of adventure will adore this book.

Trophy hunting – paying to kill large animals, often in African game reserves – promotes strong feelings. Many oppose it, but some conservationists argue it adds value to wildlife and their habitats. We discuss the arguments and hear from a psychologist about the motivations of people who want to kill animals in the wild. With Doctor Sue Snyman from the School of Wildlife Conservation; Dr Mark Jones who represents the charity Born Free; tourism expert Dr Muchazondida Mkono; and Geoff Beattie, the author of Trophy Hunting: A Psychological Perspective. Vivienne Nunis also gets the view from Richard Leakey, the famous paleoanthropologist and former head of the Kenyan Wildlife Service. Producer: Sarah Treanor. (Photo:: A rhinoceros.

Tourism in Africa, even before the pandemic, was still not bringing in as many visitor dollars as it might. But, from stargazing trips to plans for a brand-new museum of evolution, we hear from the people changing perceptions around holidays in sub-Saharan Africa. Safari tours aren't going away, but the industry is changing and that's good news for Africa's underperforming tourism sector. Vivienne Nunis hears from Susan Murabana, CEO of The Travelling Telescope under the stars just outside Nairobi, Dr. Muchazondida Mkono, a Zimbabwean academic and lecturer in tourism at the University of Queensland Business School, and from famous Kenyan paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey.

What makes us human? And how did we get here? It's only human to want to know. These two renowned paleo-anthropologists have unlocked enormous gaps in our origin story. Each of them discovered some of the most significant prehistoric bones ever found in east Africa. For Donald Johanson it was Lucy. For Richard Leakey it was Turkana Boy. These skeletons helped explain how, why and when our ape ancestors evolved, grew bigger brains, and started walking on two legs. We hear the fascinating tales of their discoveries, but we also learn their personal origin stories, and what led each of them to try to solve some of humankind's greatest mysteries.

Back in 2014, Corey Knowlton paid $350,000 for a hunting trip to Namibia to shoot and kill an endangered species.  He’s a professional hunter, who guides hunts all around the world, so going to Africa would be nothing new.  The target on the other hand would be. And so too, he quickly found, would be the attention.  This episode, producer Simon Adler follows Corey as he dodges death threats and prepares to pull the trigger.  Along the way we stop to talk with Namibian hunters and government officials, American activists, and someone who's been here before - Kenya’s former Director of Wildlife, Richard Leakey.   All the while, we try to uncover what conservation really means in the 21st century. Reported & produced by Simon Adler with production help from Matthew Kielty.

intro

When Dr. Paula Kahumbu was a little girl, she had a run in with famed conservationist Dr. Richard Leakey, catapulting a lifelong curiosity about, and interest in, Kenya’s wildlife. Since then, Paula has gone on to become an award-winning Kenyan conservationist herself, and is the current CEO of WildlifeDirect. In this episode of the podcast, she celebrates Kenya’s rich bio-diversity and talks about the need for civic education on conservation. Loss of bio-diversity, she also argues, is our biggest threat yet. “We have the most to lose, because we have the most on our doorstep.”

My first guest is Toby Corey, a personal mentor of mine. Toby is a serial entrepreneur responsible for managing 3 different billion-dollar businesses, including 2 successful IPOs, and the merger of SolarCity into Tesla where I had the pleasure of reporting to him. He currently sits on the board for multiple companies and lectures at Stanford on entrepreneurship. On the show we cover a wide range of topics including a peek inside the world of neuroscience and how different types of brain wave activity can help us have more insights, we will learn about his mission to Inspire creativity for greater good through the Zentrepreneur philosophy and movement he has led, and find out what generation he is most optimistic about. We’ll also find out what company Toby feels is the shining example of what a business should look like in the modern world. “A company that is able to walk and chew gum at the same time.” It is revealed by its customers, has a culture that makes the employees love coming to work, has the kind of balance sheet any business would love all the while promoting sustainability and doing the right thing for our planet. This show is jam-packed full of insights like these and others. Toby is an avid surfer, lover of nature and water, and resides in beautiful Santa Cruz California where he says the universe touches planet earth. Toby practices what he preaches and is truly leading a Zen life.

Wendy Sheridan, Mary McGinley, and Robin Renée do a fair amount of discussing media on The Leftscape, but rarely have they all watched or listened to the show that is the topic at hand. This time, everyone did their homework. Wendy has been watching the new She-Ra and the Princess of Power, and she found what she took for some real talk in Episode 11, "Promise." Does Catra's dialogue with Adora point out some of the most uncomfortable truths about white feminism? Listen in to the Leftscape conversation, watch She-Ra on Netflix, and post your thoughts. This week, Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, and Maria Butina are all making big news. According to the Washington Post, some lies have been repeated so often, they warrant a new rating: The Bottomless Pinocchio. Queer Twitter is calling out TERFs of AfterEllen.com and debating about how Pink News dealt with a Pansexual Pride article that misdefined "bisexual." Patricio Manuel's debut and win as the first professional transgender male boxer is reason to celebrate. Other reasons to celebrate: Las Posadas (Dec 16th -24th), Saturnalia (Dec 17th - 23rd), Winter Solstice/Yule (Dec 21st), National Hard Candy Day, and the birthdays of Edith Piaf, Alyssa Milano, Jennifer Beals, and Richard Leakey.
