Leakey fossils enlisted in evolution-creation battle [audio 7min @14:35]

The battle between creationists and evolutionists is taking a novel twist in Kenya. Powerful evangelical groups are pushing the country's national museum to move its world-famous collection of hominid fossils from its marquee position in the front of the museum to an out-of-the-way back room that people aren't ever likely to visit. The fossils show the evolution of humans' early ancestors and include the Turkana Boy, the most complete skeleton yet found of Homo erectus. Turkana Boy was discovered by famed paleoanthropoligist Richard Leakey in 1984. Leakey is also a former director of Kenya's national museum. The CBC reached him in the coastal city of Lamu.
