Description

How did the human race appear? In Kromdraai, South Africa, the French paleoanthropologist José Braga discovered the remains of two children dating back 2.5 million years. These are the oldest bones ever found. One is human, the other paranthrop, a hominid that is our closest cousin. This archaeological investigation is the starting point of an unprecedented scientific adventure, which could finally lift the veil on the origins of humanity.
