Louise Leakey investiga el origen de la humanidad

Human beings are just one of many upright-walking apes who have existed over millions of years, with only a tiny fraction of those species surviving today. Fossil discoveries in Africa, including Lake Turkana, show that several human ancestors coexisted, challenging the idea of a simple, linear evolution. Our advanced brains and technology have let our population explode to over six and a half billion, but our evolutionary past reminds us that survival is not guaranteed. Collective intelligence and communication give remarkable power, yet they also raise urgent questions about our future on Earth.
