The SFF Centre for Early Sapiens Behaviour (SapienCE) at the University of Bergen in Norway, and the Department of Science and Technology’s National Research Foundation Centre of Excellence in Palaeosciences at Wits, have collaborated in an exhibition that showcases the discovery of early modern human origins and the multitude of innovations that originated in southern Africa.
The Early Sapiens Behaviour - Mother Africa Welcome Home exhibition will be held at the Iziko South African Museum in Gardens from April 17.
The multimedia presentation comprises 16 display panels that include six videos by renowned documentary film-maker Craig Foster.
The exhibition brings to life the extraordinary rich archaeological record of three South African archaeological sites - Blombos Cave, Klasies River and Klipdrift Shelter - while taking the visitor on a multisensory journey of discovery of our common ancestry.
