Cradle Of Humankind Half Day Tour

As we are aware that Africa is the birthplace of humankind, so I welcome you home. This is where our journeys began as the Homo sapiens species to which we all belong. Come with me when I take you through some of the fossils of our distant mammal-like ancestors, which lived more than 200-million years ago, that have been found in the Cradle of Humankind. Did you know that Hominids - the ancestors of modern humans - first emerged about seven million years ago, in Africa? So welcome to the place of origins. Let me take you through the important find of Mrs. Ples, One of the world's most famous fossil skulls to have discovered at Sterkfontein caves. Its scientific name is Australopithecus africanus, and it's extremely significant because scientists believe it to be a distant relative of all humankind. There's no doubt that this evidence demonstrated that Africa is the continent from which all humanity originated. That's why the information that emerged from this world heritage site makes us call it home.
