Climate change: We have never faced a more critical time on our planet (Richard Leakey Quotes)
The world’s five thousand extant languages are products of our shared ability, but the five thousand cultures they create are separate from each other. (Richard Leakey Quotes)
Paleoanthropology is not a science that ends with the discovery of a bone. One has to have the original to work with. It is a life-long task (Richard Leakey Quotes)
The greatest problem we face is the growing number of people living in poverty. The related sense of hopelessness has to be impacting on every part of environmental management (Richard Leakey Quotes)
A number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year, we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge (Richard Leakey Quotes)
Elephants can live to an age of up to 70 or 80 years and they have a good memory. It could be they come across an area that is experiencing a drought. Then they continue on their path and run into people (Richard Leakey Quotes)
Whether or not all this came to pass in an East African ditch, I wouldn’t like to say. Perhaps it happened in North Africa or further west, but Africa was definitely the place (Richard Leakey Quotes)
Spoken language clearly differentiates Homo sapiens from all other creatures. None but humankind produces a complex spoken language, a medium for communication and a medium for introspective reflection (Richard Leakey Quotes)
Natural selection operates according to immediate cirumstances and not toward a long-term goal. Homo sapiens did eventually evolve as a descendant of the first humans, but there was nothing inevitable about it (Richard Leakey Quotes)
Scientific innovations continually provide us with new means of analyzing the finds (Richard Leakey Quotes)
My father used to say that, through culture, humans effectively domesticated themselves (Richard Leakey Quotes)
In the area of species protection, we should concern ourselves with what is right as opposed to what might be easier, or popular in the short term (Richard Leakey Quotes)
We think that groups of between 30 and 40 early men would have settled in an area measuring a hundred square kilometers (Richard Leakey Quotes)
We are concerned that, in a few years time, this place of discovery, with its wealth of human fossils, the like of which can be found nowhere else in the world, could be completely destroyed (Richard Leakey Quotes)
The land is not in the least bit fertile and yet the cattle herds grow larger and larger. A cow represents capital investment here (Richard Leakey Quotes)
One should not forget that there are very few surviving items from this period, often just single, small bones, a tooth, a sliver of the skull. Categorizing these pieces can be very difficult (Richard Leakey Quotes)
I can’t think of any other region in the world which is such a vast source of fossils (Richard Leakey Quotes)
I... believe the study of human history remains important and should not be banned. We should ensure that any archaeological studies are conducted with sensitivity and respect. Reburying relics, in my view, does not help anyone go anywhere (Richard Leakey Quotes)
When out fossil hunting, it is very easy to forget that rather than telling you how the creatures lived, the remains you find indicate only where they became fossilized (Richard Leakey Quotes)
It occurred to me that if I did not handle the crash correctly, there would be no survivors (Richard Leakey Quotes)
For fossils to thrive, certain favorable circumstances are required. First of all, of course, remnants of life have to be there. These then need to be washed over with water as soon as possible, so that the bones are covered with a layer of sediment (Richard Leakey Quotes)
To me it’s a question of being able to look backward and give the present a root... To give meaning to where we are today, we need to look at where we have come from (Richard Leakey Quotes)
To have arrived on this earth as a product of a biological accident, only to depart through human arrogance, would be the ultimate irony (Richard Leakey Quotes)
Culture represents a novelty in the world of nature, and it could have added an effective, unifying edge to the forces of natural selection (Richard Leakey Quotes)
We are bipedal apes, and it should not be surprising to see that fact reflected in the way our ancestors lived (Richard Leakey Quotes)
The world’s five thousand extant languages are products of our shared ability, but the five thousand cultures they create are separate from each other (Richard Leakey Quotes)
It seems inconceivable that a species of human could possess fully modern language and not be fully modern in all other ways, too. For this reason, the evolution of language is widely judged to be the culminating event in the emergence of humanity as we know it today (Richard Leakey Quotes)
As every parent knows, children go through an adolescent growth spurt, during which they put on inches at an alarming rate. Humans are unique in this respect: most mammalian species, including apes, progress almost directly from infancy to adulthood (Richard Leakey Quotes)
Ritual disposal of the dead speaks clearly of an awareness of death, and thus an awareness of self (Richard Leakey Quotes)
We hope to find more pieces of the puzzle which will shed light on the connection between this upright, walking ape, our early ancestor, and modern man (Richard Leakey Quotes)
