Located near Johannesburg, the Sterkfontein caves are a part of the "Cradle of Humankind," a major world site for paleoanthropology (study of prehistoric human fossils). Some paleoanthropologists believe 40% of the evidence for human evolution comes from this area. Fossils found here are the remains of animals and human ancestors who once used these caves.
