Meave Leakey
Pioneering Paleoanthropologist
All scientists are driven by this enormous curiosity. They want to know why something does this, or why something looks like that, or how something works. Every scientist is just driven by this enormous curiosity to find the answer to some question. It's the same with us. We're wandering around in the desert, in the wind and the sun and the heat, and we know if we look hard enough, we're going to find a fossil that will tell us something we didn't know before. It's incredibly obsessive really. You just know if you keep at it, you know you're going to get the answer. The frustration is that you can't do it all the time, because you have to take breaks, and you have to write up, and you have to raise money and all this sort of thing. So I think that, for anyone going into science, whatever branch of science, they have that same curiosity that drives them.
