Assignment 2/23
Who are the Leakey's.
Create a family tree outlining who the members of the Leakey's were/are. Include each of their major contributions to our understanding of Anthropology. (include a description of the find, where it was, and when was the discovery made)
I would suggest teaming up for this activity.
I also think that you start by doing this on paper and after your draft is done create and publish a post on it.
