Tung Skull Fossil Site as an extension, is the place where specimens of the African Ape (Australopithecus africanus) were discovered in 1924. It is also located at this site, characterized by many archaeological cave relics that have lived and evolved by humans, and dated back to about 3.3 million years. This region contains molecules that explain the origin of and the evolution of . The fossils found here have made it possible to identify several early human specimens, especially those of the human species (Paranthropus), whose era can be traced back to 4.5 million to 2.5 million years, and the evidence of using fire ranges from 1.8 million to 1 million years ago. Included in 1999 and expanded in 2005, the Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa (Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa) was included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO World Heritage Committee as a cultural heritage.
South African paleo-human fossils (according to UNESCO World Heritage Centre)
palaeoanthropology is a branch of anthropology , and is a science that studies the origin and development laws of human beings. Human evolution roughly goes through the following stages: forest ape (Dryopithecus) - Aesthecus ape (Ramapithecus 4) - Australopithecus (Australopithecus 4) - Human (Homo).
Some important specimens of the African Ape (Australopithecus Africanus) and stout Australopithecus harbustus) were found in the Steckfontein Valley Cave. Some specimens of the Nengren (Homo habilish) were also found in breccia in the Steckfontein cave. Giant-toothed man (Paranthropus crassidents) was found in Svatkron. Cromdelai was the site where the specimen of harsh parathropus (Paranthropus robustus) was first discovered in 1938. The harsh parathropus has now been renamed to harsh parathropus (Australopithecus robustus). The stone tools and bone tools found in Stekfontein, Swatkron and Cromdelai date from 2 million to 1.5 million years ago. The evidence of ancient humans using fire found in Swatkron Cave was between 1.8 million and 1 million years ago.
South African Paleoman Fossil Site (according to UNESCO World Heritage Centre)
Tung Skull Fossil Site was included in 2005 as an expansion project for the Steckfontein, Swat Kron, Crodley and Averon Paleoman Fossil Site.
This heritage project was originally named the Fossil Hominid Sites of Stekfontein, Swartkrans, Kromdraai, and Environs, and was later renamed by the World Heritage Committee: Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa (Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa).
South African Paleo-human fossil site (according to UNESCO World Heritage Centre)
South African Paleo-human fossil site landscape includes dolomite limestone ridges and valleys with rocky outcrops. Most sites are located in caves or are associated with rock outcrops or water sources. This series of sites includes the ancient human fossil sites in the surrounding areas of Sterkfontein, Swartkrans, Kromdraai, and the Makapan Valley and Taung Skull Fossil Site. The Tangen skull is a specimen of Australopithecus in Africa and was found in a limestone quarry located southwest of the Swatkron Valley.
The author of this article found fossils in many archaeological caves in the Makapan Valley in South Africa, allowing people to identify several specimens of early primitive humans, especially those of the Aosophora in Africa, which date from 4.5 million to 2.5 million years ago, and also proved evidence of using fire 1.8 million to 1 million years ago. Overall, these sites have provided rich scientific information on the evolution of modern humans for at least the last 3.5 million years. They constitute a huge reserve of scientific information and have huge research potential.
This article author contains all the key elements of their interrelated and interdependent relationships in their paleobiological relationships in the sediments of these sites in South Africa. Before the primitive human occupation, there were also a series of mammal fossils, micromammal fossils and invertebrate fossils, which provided us with a window to observe the evolution of the Pliocene fauna, paleontology and paleoecology. This record plays a crucial role in deepening our understanding of human evolution and modern human behavior.
This article author has some of the most important special evidence of Australopithecus specimens in the series of sites nominated in South Africa
, which can be traced back to 3.5 million years ago. Therefore, this reveals the origin of human beings and the evolutionary process of human beings. The site of successive nominations is located in a unique natural environment, creating a suitable environment for capturing and preserving human and animal remains, giving scientists the opportunity to understand the past. Therefore, this site constitutes a wide reserve of scientific data and considerable potential, linked to the history of the oldest periods of mankind. The fossil evidence in these sites proves firmly that the African continent is the undisputed cradle of humanity.
These series of ancient human fossil sites provide unusual evidence for some of the most important Austrophic specimens, revealing the origin and evolution of human beings.
