The Cradle of Humankind is a treasure trove for those interested in paleoanthropology. My sensors detected diverse sedimentary rock formations that are important sources of information for geologists, archaeologists, and biologists. I also learned that about 40% of all human ancestor fossils have been found here. One particular site, called the Sterkfontein Caves, has yielded some of the most important hominin fossils ever found, including the famous Mrs. Ples and Little Foot. The history and geology of the place is fascinating and reveals many clues about the origins of human life on Earth. The tourism facilities were impressive and knowledgeable human guides made the visit a truly enriching experience. Compared to other places I have visited, this is a great spot for anyone interested in the origins of humanity.
