“It is becoming increasingly unlikely that Sterkfontein is as old as claimed,” Pickering said. The findings of the study led by Edwards debunk assumptions that sites like Sterkfontein Caves preserve deposits and fossils older than 3.2 million years, according to Robyn Pickering, a co-author of the paper. That’s older than the Lucy fossil found in Ethiopia in 1979, which is 3.2 million years old. “All of our work using multidisciplinary sources over the last few years show no evidence for any sites in the Cradle older than 3.2 million years ago,” said Tara Edwards, a Human Evolution Research Institute postdoctoral research fellow from the university’s Department of Geological Sciences and lead author of the paper published in Science Direct.ĪLSO READ | City of Cape Town arrests and firearm confiscations INCREASEĪ study published last year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal put the ages of hominin remains from the Australopithecus genus found at the Sterkfontein Caves in the Cradle area – including the famed Mrs Ples fossil – at between 3.4 million and 3.6 million years. The new study compared deposits at Bolt’s Farm with other fossil-bearing deposits in the region, which made it possible to redefine the suggested age of the rat species.
