| Southern Africa | ||
| Southern Africa has provided scientists with a steady flow of Australopithecines, from its numerous caves and quarries. The geological structures here differ quite differently from those in Eastern Africa, in ways that are not as productive to the paleoanthropologist. Although it is not flat by any means, Southern Africa does not have the ground exposure in the form of gorges and ancient river beds, as is the case in the east. | ||
