Area Info
Muldersdrift is surrounded by small farms and smallholdings and has become a centre for a great number of home craft industries and artists
Muldersdrift has historical significance as Dr Jameson was caught and arrested here as a prisoner of war shortly after the attempted Jameson Raid on Johannesburg
The Cradle of Humankind lies mainly in the Gauteng province with only a small part extending into the neighboring North-West province
The site comprises a strip of dolomitic limestone caves containing the fossilised remains of ancient forms of animals, plants and most importantly, hominids
The biggest and best-known of the caves is Sterkfontein, where over 500 hominid fossils and over 9,000 stone tools have been found
At least seven of the twelve sites at The Cradle of Humankind have yielded hominid remains. In fact, together these cave sites have produced over 850 hominid fossil remains so to date they represent one of the world's richest concentrations of fossil hominid-bearing sites
The scientific value of this area lies in the fact that these sites provide us with a window into the past, to a time when our earliest ancestors were evolving and changing. Scientists have long accepted that all humans had their origins in Africa
The area was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999. Although it is on privately owned land, any finds belong to the world, and the area is strictly controlled and protected
