It is a very important time in the world to realize that we do have a common past and we have a common future.

What we’ve been focused on in our work is this story — on the upright, walking ancestral life of hominins.

I feel very strongly that we again need to focus on how we can safeguard these collections for future generations as well.

Everybody enjoys being out-and-about as a small child looking for fossils, so it is second-nature to anyone to do that, I guess I was able to keep at it longer than most.
