Washington, Feb. PA British
scientist said here today that he
had discovered the bones OF the
oldest member of the human race
known to science.
The relics are considerably more

to DR.. Louis S. B. Leakey, an
anthropologist, who discovered
them in the recent excavations in
the Olduvai Gorge Of Tanganyika,
East Africa.
DR.. Leakey made the announce
ment at a news conference here
today. He said the relics belonged
to an 11-year-old child. He said
lesser fragments Of another hu-
man were also found in the gorge.
He said a more definite date
of the child's existence would come
later after a more detailed look
at the specimens.
DR.. Leakey said these bones,
however, were much older tnan

old 'Nutcracker Man," Zinjanth-
