Dr. Clarke speaking to studentsOn Wednesday we had the opportunity to visit two important anthropological sites.  First, we visited the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria where Stephany Potze, Curator of Paleontology, showed our group the world famous fossil specimen Mrs. Ples as well as a few other cool fossils.  Later that afternoon, Dr. Ron Clarke, a professor of Anthropology from Wits University, personally gave our group a tour of Sterkfontein Caves.  Dr. Clarke also showed a select group of students the on-going excavation of “Little Foot.” The entire group really enjoyed the tour of the caves and meeting Dr. Clarke!
