One of the world's foremost anthropologists, Richard E. Leakey, will deliver a lecture on "The Human Heritage" next Wednesday at the opening of an exhibition at Peabody Museum.
The exhibition, covering the 20 million years of human evolution, will become a permanent part of the museum.
Leakey, director of the National Museum of Kenya, has changed the theory of human evolution by discovering a series of human fossil skulls stretching back three million years, Alan C. Walker, professor of Anthropology, said yesterday.
The permanent exhibit illustrates the evolution of humans and their tools during the last 20 million years. The museum will also display the techniques for discovering and recovering fossils.
Leakey's lecture will review the last nine years of his work searching for the fossil remains of the earliest humans at the Kenyan site of Lake Turkana.
