A memoir of a woman and her husband b on a safari to Tanzania in East Africa to see where Zinjanthropus was found and to meet with the Leakeys who had discovered the skull.
"In 1963 my husband and I made the journey to Tan- zania in East Africa, to Olduvai Gorge. We wanted to see for ourselves the ancient home of early man: the living floor where he was found; the tools he used; and the bones of the animals that he had seen and known. We were going to meet the Leakeys who had done this tremendous work. And on the way we were to see the last of the great wild herds of African animals, animals that may all too soon be as extinct as ancient man. We were filled with anticipation."
