Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge

Enjoyable and brief novella about far future aliens examining the remains of human civilization in Olduvai Gorge (a big important hole in the ground in Tanzania, near the Great Rift Valley). Just given that these vignettes took place in Tanzania and Kenya was incredibly refreshing. The portrayal of the Maasai was fun and interesting; I especially enjoyed the short vignette about the stubborn near future Maasai dad. I think I added this to my to-read list long long ago, when I was having a Maszlow-ian peak experience in the Serengeti, and was hungry to read some sf that centered around the magic of BIOLOGY and wild things and ecosystems. This wasn't quite that, but it was v good nonetheless.
