Commentary by Alan Gibson.

A set of teeth almost two million years old are unearthed in the Olduvai Gorge, East Africa. Has Dr. Louis Leakey at last discovered a clue to earliest man? Or is that creature which he calls Zinjanthropus too primitive to be human? Unsatisfied, Dr. Leakey continues searching, and finally his efforts are rewarded.
