Finding the almost complete skull of an adult proto-human, now known as Mrs Ples, in 1947 put Dr Robert Broom and the Sterkfontein Caves on the world map. Clocking in at almost 4 million years old Little Foot is a million years younger than Mrs Ples but getting as well known. The almost complete ape-man skeleton were found by Ronald Clarke and Phillip Tobias in 1995 and is still being chipped out carefully to remove it safely from the dolomite in which it was protected for so many millennia. 

Open to all visitors is Sterkfontein Caves itself where guided tours are available on every half an hour.
