...NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY SPECIAL (CBS, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). More on evolution. "Dr. Leakey and the Dawn of Man" deals with Anthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey and his family of fossil hunters in East Africa. After more than 30 years, the Leakeys have made such finds as Zinjanthropus, a manlike creature believed to have lived 1,750,000 years ago, and the 2,000,000-year-old Homo habilis, who was found among some of the earliest signs of "culture," and is believed to be a direct ancestor of modern...
ANIMAL SECRETS (NBC, 1-1:30 p.m.). In another new series designed to give ETV a run for its audience, Anthropologist Dr. Loren Eiseley hosts a weekly investigation of such natural phenomena as why bees buzz and how fish talk.

In 1964, Goerner got a flash of headlines by producing seven pounds of human bones and 37 teeth. The flyers? Nope, declared a Berkeley anthropologist-they belonged to some late Micronesians...
...taken up anthropology at the top of his voice.

He toyed with some other revolutionary evolutionary notions too, but he lacked either the time or the background to push them with suitable evangelical zeal. That required another book, and this...
...that apes raped black women as one way to climb a notch on the social scale. Even today, people like to think that apes possess a savage and unrestrained libido. Actually, they are scarcely interested in sex at all. In 466 hours of directly observing gorillas in the wild, Anthropologist George Schaller witnessed only two copulations and one unsuccessful try. Furthermore, gorilla swains are sadly underendowed by human standards: the erect male organ measures a scant...
