Research based on fossils found in South Africa's 'Cradle of Humankind' (bordering Gauteng and the North-West Province) as well as signs of early human habitation in the area, have shed new light on the evolution of humankind and on the significant role that southern Africa played in the development of modern humans. A Search for Origins aims to provide an overview of the history of the 'Cradle of Humankind', and of the important human and animal fossils that have been discovered there, for a non-specialist audience. It is the first systematic account of the wider history of the Cradle and surrounding area, and spans the evolution of early plant and animal life, human development and recent and colonial history. A Search for Origins places the scientific advances that have been made against the intellectual and political background out of which they emerged. This approach situates the Cradle within a recognisable South African context, rendering it a great deal more meaningful for both South African visitors and international tourists. The multi-disciplinary approach - from a wide range of specialists - is innovative and ground-breaking.
