Hi Bianca ,

Yes, in The First American ,I've just read how it describes what Louis Leakey found and the response to it from the establishment and it's relevance to the Valsequillo finds.

It seems it really was very turbulent times in the sixties ,not only archaeology but so many sciences, it's amazing to think that at the time Leakey was digging at Calico and Irwin-Williams was at Valsequillo ,IT WAS NOT YET ACCEPTED THAT THE CONTINENTS HAD BEEN CONNECTED AND DRIFTED APART !!!!!  that was only accepted in the late sixties !!!
