the cradle of humankind region
is truly remarkable right
on the edge of johannesburg is a
tremendous pristine wilderness
that is startling and spectacular which
holds these hidden treasures right on
its doorstep
there's hundreds if not thousands of
caves many of which contain
fossils that are telling us the story
of us
[Music]
there is nowhere else in the world where
you can have the potential of witnessing
the discovery of one of the rarest
objects on the planet
a fossil of a human ancestor
when i first bring people to the cradle
of humankind and they begin to
understand
the story of human origins they suddenly
realize that their ancestry is from
right here that they're home
that's humbling
you
