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.
