身临其境地置身于南非的人类摇篮(Cradle of Humankind),您将踏上一场逾越数百万年时光的旅程,探索我们共同祖先的起源之谜。位于约翰内斯堡西北50公里处的人类摇篮,不仅是联合国教科文组织在1999年宣布的世界遗产地,更是世界上已知最大的人类祖先化石集中地。这个占地47,000公顷的遗址中蕴藏着复杂的石灰岩洞穴系统,每一处洞穴都是穿越回原始世界的入口。 在Sterkfontein洞穴中,科学家们发现了名为“Mrs. Ples”的2.3百万年前的南非古猿化石,揭开了人类起源的重要一页。而在不远处的Rising Star洞穴系统中,科学家们发现了一种可能命名为Homo naledi的灭绝人类物种的十五具化石骨架,这些发现为我们提供了关于人类演化的重要线索。 人类摇篮的魅力还在于其背后悠长而丰富的发现历史。20世纪30年代,罗伯特·布鲁姆(Robert Broom)在Sterkfontein发现了首批类人猿化石。此后,多位科学家在这片土地上不断探索,数十年如一日的挖掘,使这里成为了世界上持续运行时间最长的化石挖掘项目之一。从发现使用火的最早证据到揭示Homo naledi这一神秘物种的社会行为,人类摇篮每一次发现都在推动着我们对人类起源的理解。 为了使公众能够更直观地体验这一切,南非总统塔博·姆贝基于2005年12月亲自揭幕了新的Maropeng访客中心。在这里,游客不仅可以亲眼目睹真实的化石和石器,还能通过参观Sterkfontein洞穴和展览深入了解人类的诞生。更有马拉帕遗址上的轻质可移动钢结构“甲虫”,让公众得以近距离观察目前暂停的挖掘工作。

    Ive been here twice and I enjoyed it. For someone that gets claustrophobic this was nothing. I enjoyed the ride downstairs and the walk out. My favourite part is sitting on the grass after the tour is done and taking in the views in a tranquil setting.

    Great place to learn about the origin of the human race and the evolution of Earth. I would highly recommend sending kids.

    Very interesting and must visit. Great activity with slightly older kids as well and those who have an interest to learn about early human history and evolution and the planet.

    Took the kids to Cradle of Humankind this past weekend and we throughly enjoyed this historical place. We joined a group for a tour guide and it was very educational. There’s also a short trip on the boat where you experience the different elements. We went on a Saturday round 12 and it was not full. After the tour we bought popcorn and ice cream and also took a family photo. Kids under 6 are free.

    interesting place for grown ups as well for children. Education for all ages how it all began. The environment around the museum is as well pretty and invites you for having a trip around. I recommend this before the weekend starts to avoid to many people.
