 Yes. Richard is the second(?) son of Louis and Mary Leakey. Discoverers of Australopithecus Boisei, and Australopithecus Afarensis in the Olduvai Gorge.
I saw Richard Leakey speak at Creighton University, in 1991. Before he even began his speech, he said "If you are a Creationist....Leave now. I don't have time to debate you." About a dozen people just got up and left.
