Day 2: Tuesday 13 October 2015,
Pelindaba, Sterkfontein caves and Kromdraai.
The Cradle of Humankind is one of the most famous World Heritage Sites in South Africa. It is located about 30 kilometres southwest of Pretoria. Important discoveries of fossil human ancestors have been made in this area since 1936. These fossils may be represented and studied further by micro-CT scanning and computer-based 3D modelling at Necsa (Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa).
We will visit Necsa and the Sterkfontein caves in the morning, as well as the Kromdraai site as part of the Cradle of Humankind in the afternoon.
