Mary and Louis Leakey are considered two of the foremost fossil hunters of the 20th century. Convinced that they would find evidence that humans evolved in Africa, they spent nearly 30 years scouring the Olduvai Gorge for fossil evidence. Finally, in 1959 they found a hominid jaw bone. Their legacy continues as several of the Leakey children and grandchildren continue to reasearch and study in east Africa.
