This area has been called the Cradle of Humankind because it has a number of sites containing the fossilised remains of some of the earliest members of the human family (early hominids), as well as stone, bone and horn tools. This large area of land consists of a strip of a dozen caves containing fossilised remains of ancient forms of animals, plants and hominids. The caves developed in a warm shallow sea about 2, 3 billion years ago. Some of the famous cave sites are the caves at Sterkfontein, Swartkrans and Kromdraai. The Sterkfontein Caves are where Dr Robert Broom discovered the two to three-million year old hominid skull known as Mrs Ples. He began excavations at the cave in 1936 and discovered a skull of a species of early man which he initially named Plesianthropus transvaalensis, now referred to as Australopithecus africanus. Sterkfontein is also where Dr Ron Clarke discovered ‘Little Foot’, a near-complete fossil skeleton of a species of Australopithecus, believed to be about 3 million years old. At Sterkfontein archaeologists have found ancient stone tools used almost two million years ago by a species of hominid. 6.1 Why is the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site known as the world’s richest hominid site?
