Monday Musings<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Three million years ago, a 3-year-old child strayed too far away from its tribe. A predator grabbed the 25-pound toddler and, near the opening to an underground cave. feasted on its human snack. \u00a0Stray scraps fell into the limestone cavern below.<\/p>\n

Other hominids, dragged into caves by big cats or falling into grass-covered hidden holes, make South Africa\u2019s caves the world\u2019s greatest source of early human fossils. About 900 important fossilized bones have been discovered in the 180 square miles of grassland and caves known as the Cradle of Humankind. Scientists have identified at least four human-like species in addition to\u00a0Homo sapiens<\/em>\u2014us. These humans and pre-humans lived in the area at various times over 3.5 million years.<\/p>\n

The story these fossils tell is that we,\u00a0\u00a0Homo sapiens, <\/em>of all types, <\/em>are more alike than we are different and that we all started in Africa. It’s a powerful lesson for today’s divisive times<\/p>\n
