Richard E. Leakey

Roger Lewin

Man, His Origins, Nature and Future

People of the Lake

Sarah Jackson

This was my first non-fiction in a while and I really, really enjoyed it!

I loved how Leakey's discussion extended beyond purely the specimens but he also spoke about social and cultural dynamics and extended it to the present day (even it that present day was 1978). I was also surprised by how progressive some of the commentary was, especially about respect for indigenous cultures... I'm not sure what I was expecting but it defied my expectations in that sense.

Such a good book!
