Kenya Post Origins of Mankind

KENYA POST & TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION in 1982 issued four first day cover stamps dedicated to early man, entitled "Origins of Mankind'. The four stamps featured fossilised skulls found in various regions of Kenya  --  Australopithecus Boisei,  Homo Habilis, Homo Erectus, and Proconsul Africanus. These complete fossilised skulls were discovered in Kenya by anthropologists Richard Leakey, Mary Leaky and Louis Leakey.
