Archeologist Louis Leakey correctly believed ahead of his time that human beings and the Great Apes have a common ancestor. Leakey proposed that if human beings and any member of the Great Apes live side by side, any traits which are done on both ends would most likely show up as a trait of the common ancestor of both species (eg. rubbing hands together to keep warm).
