Mary Leakey was an archeologist, I believe. She studied ancient human history by analyzing remains buried thousands of years ago, in central and eastern Africa.

The Leakeys
St. Joachim was Mary's father.
The Leakeys are a family of paleoanthropologists known for their discoveries of early human fossils in East Africa. Louis, Mary, and Richard Leakey have all made significant contributions to our understanding of human evolution, particularly in places like Olduvai Gorge and Lake Turkana. Their work has helped shape our knowledge of our ancestors and how humans have evolved over time.
The discovery of a hominin skull in 1959 at Olduvai Gorge by Mary Leakey encouraged the Leakeys to continue their search for human remains. This skull, known as "Nutcracker Man" or Paranthropus boisei, demonstrated the significance of the site for understanding human evolution and motivated further excavations.
