British archaeologist whose work was important in establishing human evolutionary development in Africa (1903–1972). Two letters: one TLS signed “L. S. B. Leakey,” one onionskin page, 8.5 x 11, February 11, 1967, regarding signing a copy of his book White African; and one TLS signed “L. S. B. Leakey,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, L. S. B. Leakey Foundation letterhead, December 25, 1968. In part: “I was able to describe an important new fossil lower jaw of Kenyapithecus africanus in the scientific paper Nature. I also was able to publish an exciting discovery from Fort Ternan. This consisted of a lump of lava which was used by Kenyapithecus wickeri to break open bones in Upper Miocene times…Dian Fossey will continue her gorilla studies; she is already in very close contact with one group and getting magnificent results. We hope to have a new girl, Kathy Simpson, doing work on Braza monkeys next year. Jane Van Lawick Goodall, of course, is still working on her chimpanzee projects.” In overall fine condition.
