Funded Activity Summary

Old stalagmites, new techniques: South African palaeoclimate records linked to early human evolution. Caves in South Africa preserve a rich hominin (early human) fossil and archaeological record dating back over two million years. This project uses stalagmites from various South African caves to provide a new, detailed record of the palaeoclimate, forming the backdrop to the evolutionary changes that took place during this period.
