South Africa is rich in fossil evidence of the evolutionary history of the human family that dates back several million years. The discovery of the skull of Taung child in 1924 to the latest discoveries of hominid fossils at the Sterkfontein Caves, recently declared a World Heritage Site, and the pioneering work in the Blombos Cave in South Cape Town - all have put South Africa at the forefront of paleontological research in the origin of humanity.
