Mary Leakey: Sie fand den ältesten Schädel der Menschheit
Beim Gassi-Gehen fand sie den ältesten Schädel der Menschheit Einen wissenschaftlichen Abschluss hatte Mary Leakey nie gemacht. Aber der Fund, der ihr im Juli 1959 in Tansania gelang, machte sie zu einer berühmten Paläoanthropologin. Denn der Schädel des Vormenschen „Zinj“ war eine Weltsensation.

Eigentlich wollte Mary Leakey (1913–1996) nur die Hunde ausführen. Am Abhang einer Wasserrinne machte sie eine Entdeckung: ein uralter Schädel, den offensichtlich die Erosion freigelegt hatte. Sie berichtete ihrem Mann Louis davon, der mit Fieber im Lager geblieben war. Der konnte seine Enttäuschung kaum verbergen: „Ach, meine Liebe, ich glaube es ist ein Australopithecine.“

A Worle family is continuing to raise awareness and vital funds for life-saving research in memory of their daughter.
Mary Collard was aged 11 when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, the most common form of primary bone cancer in children and young adults.
She enjoyed football, golf, swimming, drama, cubs, guides and was a great Liverpool Football Club supporter.
Mary would have turned 21-years-old tomorrow (Friday).
Mary s parents, Sue and Andy, have been fundraising for the Bone Cancer Research Trust since her death in 2012 and have raised more than £607,000 for the charity through events including fire walks, golf days and taking part in the London Marathon.

NEWTOWN, CT It s been eight years since Dec. 14, 2012 the most tragic day in Newtown s history when 20 young children and six educators were killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
We have passed a point when all the child victims have been gone longer than they were alive, but they will never be forgotten. The legacy of the victims lives on through the memories of loved ones and many foundations and charities that have been founded in their memories.
