What did Mary and Louis Leakey discover?
In 1948 they discovered more than thirty fragments of the skull of an apelike creature. Scientists concluded that the creature was a common ancestor of both humans and apes that had existed up to 40,000,000 years ago. In 1959 Mary discovered a hominid (early human) fossil at the Olduvai Gorge in neighboring Tanzania. The fossil was determined to be 1,750,000 years old. This discovery came to be known as "Nutcracker Man" because the hominid had lived on a diet of nuts and meat. Another fossil unearthed nearby was called "Able Man" (or Homo Habilis) because the hominid had used stone tools. These two different human-like creatures are believed to have lived in the same place at the same time, which challenged the former assumption that humans originated from one place. The Leakeys also uncovered the remains of more than 100 forms of now-extinct animal life in the Olduvai Gorge.
