Sterkfontein is one of the world's most productive and important anthropological sites and it is also a World Heritage Site. It is the place where Dr Robert Broom believed he found the very first adult "ape-man" in 1936 and where, in 1947, a well-preserved skull of a female Plesianthropus was uncovered.

 

The newspapers named the skull Mrs. Ples. It is believed by some scientists to be the most complete skull of Australopithecus africanus that has been found up to date. Mrs. Ples is said to be about 2.7-million years old.
