Description | As to the Kanam and Kanjera remains, Leakey attempted to employ them as part of proof of the age of Oldoway Man - he extracts from a letter of his to Leakey, noting that he first saw the Kanam and Kanjera fossils, not in Africa as Leakey suggested, but at the Royal College of Surgeons in 1934. He recalls Boswell's statements to Leakey on 'that fateful afternoon' of January 18th. Boswell said that he would have to report and that the fossils would have to be placed in 'suspense account' so far as age was concerned. Leakey agreed. He recalls Boswell saying that the mis-labelling of the photograph was unfortunate. Wayland is astonished at the rumours because he is in no way uncertain as to these statements. Now that Leakey is home, his best course would be to 'swallow the unpalatable gruel' |
