In Tanzania, near the famous Olduvai Gorge (Olduvai), will be a monument designed to perpetuate its role in the history of science. The fact that it was here half a century ago, made discoveries that have helped shape the modern understanding of the origin of the human species. Since 1959, British archaeologists wife Leakey spent in the canyon excavation, which resulted in the discovery of species Homo habilis (handy man). Age of the remains of 2.6-3.5 million years. Also in the gorge was discovered the skull of Australopithecus, chipped bones of dead animals in hunting and very rough stone tools related to the ancient epoch of the Paleolithic (the so-called Olduvai culture). Earlier Homo habilis was considered ancestor of Homo erectus, but for more modern ideas, he could have been his contemporary. The skull found at Olduvai layers of culture, Mary Leakey identified and described species Zinjanthropus boisei (Zinjanthropus also Boyce called Paranthropus). This is the most massive of all the australopithecines.
Found near the remains of stone tools gave scientists the opportunity to suggest that Zinjanthropus began using stone tools first of all living beings in history. Now in the Gorge is a museum of anthropology and human evolution Olduvai Gorge, which represents the remains of the predecessors of modern man, the remains of prehistoric animals, the tusks of mammoths, but memorial area itself has not been specially marked and protected. Nevertheless, it attracts many tourists, so the government of Tanzania decided to perpetuate a separate place "phenomenon" of one of modern humanity his ancestors – Zinjanthropus, according to tourist guides in the same vrmenem Tallinn Kadriorg Park recently opened Children's Museum Miia-Milla-Manda.
