Description The Cradle of Humankind--a paleoanthropological site about 30 miles northwest of Johannesburg, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1999--is the site of the discovery of many of the oldest hominid fossils in the world, some dating back three million years.
This site opens windows onto many pasts: onto the origins and evolution of humanity, but also, perhaps less well known and appreciated, it bears witness to many of the key phases of more recent South Afri.
