The fossil sites of Stekfontein, Swatcorans, Koromdraj and Verones contain the remains of caves inhabited by ancient humans, dating back 33 million years, and are favorable evidence of human evolution and origin. The fossils found in this study serve as multiple specimens confirming early hominids and evidence of animal domestication between 18 and 1 million years ago.

Many of the caves in the Steckfontein Valley contain a wealth of scientific information about the evolution of modern humans over the past 3.5 million years, their lives, the animals they live with, and those they eat.

The Stekfontein site includes a particularly large and scientifically important group of sites that shed light on the early days of human ancestry. There is a wealth of scientific information and great potential here. The Sterkfontein Fossil Cave was deposited by dolomite dissolved in water below the water table and is considered to be one of the richest sites of hominid fossils in Africa.
