“The British anthropologist Dr.Leakey, claims he has found two radically different types of men who lived side by side in Africa some 1,750,000 years ago, it was reported yesterday.

     “Dr.Leakey on Thursday announced the discovery of 14-million-year-old fossil remains of a creature - neither man nor ape - in Kenya. He told the National Geographical Society on Friday that his new finds were in Tanganyika.

      “Society officials said, Dr.Leakey reposted that one, a fossil, was closer to present-day man and the other, the earlier discovered Zinjanthropus, was closer to the South African “near man.”²
