Book excerpt: Discover the Site Heralded as the Birthplace of Humankind From the beginning, we have wondered where we come from. In 2015, scientists revealed evidence that shocked the world, and rewrote history books. Did they find the answer in the ancient fossils? Seen by many as the Cradle of Humankind, the caves near Krugersdorp in South Africa have delivered the best evidence for where we came from, and who our ancestors were. However, they also shocked the world when they rewrote the timeline for where we thought our ancestors started to be self-aware, capable of complex thought, used fire, and performed rituals.
