Save the Date for The Leakey Foundation's 50th anniversary gala! The celebration will take place on Thursday, May 3, 2018, at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco and we invite you to join us to celebrate 50 years of exploring, discovering, and sharing the human story.

Introducing Our Fall 2017 Grantees

The Leakey Foundation held our fall 2017 granting session on December 2, 2017. Our Board of Trustees unanimously approved twenty-three research grant proposals for funding.

Frank Brown’s Scientific Legacy

Frank Brown's study of the Omo-Turkana Basin over a 50-year period (1966-2016) provides the basis for a detailed chronology of human evolution.

Origin Stories Season Two

Origin Stories is The Leakey Foundation’s podcast about how we became human. In six new episodes, Origin Stories takes you behind the scenes of some of the most exciting new discoveries in the study of human origins and profiles scientists whose work sheds light on some of the answers to the big questions about human evolution.
