I met Leakey, his wife and son when he came to DC. Had carved stone tools from Africa estimated to be around 2 million years old (Olduvi Gorge). Got to handle them.
Really cool.
I was a working archaeologist on a Dig related to the Maryland Academy of Sciences, SW chapter.

Very cool. I believe tools built by hominids go back around 6 million years.
