Location: Drimolen Paleo Cave System, Johannesburg, South Africa
Year Discovered: 2020
Est. Value: N/A (Human Remains)
While digging via the million-year-old Drimolen Cave System in South Africa, paleontologists found the bones of people who lived millions of years earlier.
The primal cavs have been the site of 900 bones and also fossils from very early people, though none as old as the ruined head discovered in 2020.
Researchers digging through the caverns found a two-million-year-old skull fragment from a Homo erectus.
This was hundreds of thousands of years older than other H. erectus fossils discovered. This was an interesting exploration for researchers, as it provided new insight right into just for how long people have actually been around.
