Palaeontologist Meave Leakey has spent a lifetime in the hot, arid sands of northern Kenya uncovering the story of human evolution. Her new memoir, The Sediments of Time: My Lifelong Search for the Past takes us through years of pain-staking work and incredible discoveries.
Written together with her daughter, Samira, the memoir is both a biography and scientific treatise playing out mostly in Koobi Fora, Ileret, Turkwell and other territories of the Lake Turkana Basin.
