The discoveries made by
three generations of the Leakey family has made an
inestimable contribution to our understanding of
human origins.
Now you have the opportunity to make a contribution
of your own to further this understanding and ensure
that remaining questions regarding our past are
addressed.
The Leakey family is working with National
Geographic to secure funding for a new, five-year
Turkana Basin Research Initiative to address
questions relevant to the emergence of our own genus
Homo and the dispersal of our species out of Africa.
This ambitious project will expand fieldwork beyond
the three-month season to year-round operations,
making use of the latest technology and analysis
methods. Funds are sought for operating support to
sustain research as well as for capital improvements
to replace and upgrade labs and equipment.
Substantial private support will be needed in order
to realize their research goals at the famed Koobi
Fora site.
100% of your contribution will go toward this
initiative. Please consider helping this
tremendously important work. The link below will

Geographic website. After registering, choose "Koobi
