The study of man's origins fascinates us all - and recent discoveries in the caves at Pinnacle Point (on the coast 10 km west of Mossel Bay) have delivered the earliest evidence for modern human behaviour: evidence that stretches back as much as 165,000 years.
By Adv. De Waal Lubbe
In the first week of November 2012, another remarkable archaeological discovery by the SACP4 Project at the Pinnacle Point Caves, Mossel Bay, under Professor Curtis Marean, was announced to the world.
Top BBC presenter Julia Bradbury visited Mossel Bay this week with a crew from the British television production company Skyworks to film a documentary on the towns Cape St Blaize and Oyster Catcher Hiking Trails.
America's Arizona State University Professor Curtis Marean has told this year's Nobel Conference that modern human behaviour began in the Mossel Bay area of South Africa's present-day Western Cape Province.This 44th Conference in the Nobel lecture series - which is held every year at the Gustavus Adolphus College (a private liberal arts college in St. Peter, Minnesota) - was titled Who Were The First Humans' and was designed to trace the evolution of human history from its beginnings in Africa to the modern day.
The following text is reproduced from the Western Cape Government Provincial Gazette 7075 (Friday, 14 December 2012)
The Mossel Bay Archaeology Project - the biggest project of its kind in the world today - is changing the way we think about both the origins of man and the effects of global climate change.But it's also changing the way our children view their heritage.
Five members of Mossel Bay's community have found training - and new careers - through the Mossel Bay Archaeology Project.The Project - under the leadership of Curtis Marean, Professor of Paleoanthropology at the Institute of Human Origins at the Arizona State University's School of Human Evolution and Social Change and South Africa's Dr. Peter Nilssen - is the largest of its kind in the world and seeks to understand both the behaviour of early humans and the effects of climate change on vegetation and water supply through evidence found in the Pinnacle Point Caves.
A unique and unusual partnership has developed between Mossel Bay's Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary - a privately-owned conservation and tourism organisation - and the biggest scientific project of its kind in the world: the Mossel Bay Archaeology Project (MAP).Jukani has made its hyenas available to MAP archaeological assistant Tina du Plessis, who has begun a study of their dental impressions.
Professor Curtis Marean, the leader of the Mossel Bay Archaeology Project (MAP - the largest archaeological project of its kind in the world today) will deliver a repeat of his Nobel Lecture The African Evidence for the Origins of Modern Human Behavior' at the Dias Museum Complex on Wednesday, November 19th at 6:00 p.m.Prof Marean, who is Professor of Anthropology at the Institute of Human Origins at the Arizona State University, is in South Africa to direct the current digging season in the Pinnacle Point Caves where his team have found the earliest evidence for modern human behaviour.
