Louis and Mary Leakey were famous and highly accomplished archaeologists and anthropologists working in Africa. Louis died in 1972, and Mary took over direction of the family fossil business. She died in 1996. The found fossils that showed there were Homo Habilis. Louis Leaky found a stone tool in 1931 and in 1959 he found many bones-like skulls, jawbones, and foot bones. Theses were evidence of Homo Habilis.
Louis Leakey received several prestigious awards throughout his career, including the Gold Medal of the Royal Anthropological Institute in 1951 and the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1964 for his contributions to anthropology and paleontology. He was also recognized with honorary degrees from various universities for his groundbreaking work in human evolution and archaeology. Leakey's research significantly advanced the understanding of early hominins and shaped the field of paleoanthropology.

Mary Leakey, Louis Leakey, and Donald Johanson have made significant contributions to our understanding of human origins through their discoveries of important fossil hominins. Mary and Louis Leakey discovered the earliest known hominin footprints at Laetoli, Tanzania, providing insights into bipedal locomotion. Donald Johanson discovered the famous "Lucy" fossil in Ethiopia, which belongs to the species Australopithecus afarensis and has expanded our knowledge of early human evolution.
Prior to the discoveries by Louis and Mary Leakey, human evolution was thought to have originated in Asia. The Leakey's finding at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania convinced that humans originally evolved in Africa.

Both learner’s and teachers.
Louis Leakey did his work primarily in East Africa, particularly in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania and the Rift Valley region. He is famous for his significant contributions to the field of paleoanthropology and his discoveries of early human fossils in these regions.
Mary and Louis Leakey discovered early hominid fossils in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania in the 1950s and 1960s. They made significant contributions to the understanding of human evolution by uncovering remains of hominids such as Australopithecus and Homo habilis.
Mary Leakey's birth name is Mary Douglas Nicol.
