Our adventure starts in South Africa, the site where remnants of some of the earliest known life forms on Earth were discovered.
Fossils of some of the oldest known dinosaurs, dating back to at least 200 million years ago, are attributed to South Africa.
Notable discoveries also include fossils of our remote mammalian predecessors, who existed over 200 million years ago, in South Africa.
Africa is considered the cradle of human civilization, the place where our mutual past is buried deep within the ground.
The first emergence of hominids, or ancestors to modern humans, can be traced back roughly seven million years ago in Africa.
The Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site has been the location of many remarkable fossil discoveries, including the renowned ‘Mrs. Ples’ and ‘Little Foot’.
The first instances of stone tools being produced and utilised took place in Africa, approximately 2.6 million years ago.
