"Africa has the longest record – some 2.5 million years – of human occupation of any continent.

African evidence is critical to important debates, such as the origins of stone toolmaking, the emergence of recognisably modern forms of cognition and behaviour, and the expansion of successive hominins from Africa to other parts of the… Read More
