Olduvai Gorge aka "Cradle of Humankind", Tanzania, Africa

In this video you will hear a very informative talk about the gorge and the remains that were discovered there by the Leakey Family in 1931. You will also see images from the display.
The gorge is located in a steep-sided ravine in the Great Rift Valley that stretches across East Africa, it is about 48 km and is located in the eastern Serengeti Plains within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania is one of the most important paleoanthropological localities in the world; the many sites exposed by the gorge have proven invaluable in furthering understanding of early human evolution.
The locality is significant in showing the increasing developmental and social complexities in the earliest humans, or hominins, largely revealed in the production and use of stone tools. The collecting of tools and animal remains in a centralised area is evidence of developing social interaction and communal activity. All these factors indicate an increase in cognitive capacities at the beginning of the period of hominids transitioning to hominin-that is, to human-form and behaviour.
Homo habilis, probably the first early human species, occupied Olduvai Gorge approximately 1.9 million years ago; then came a contemporary australopithecine, Paranthropus boisei, 1.8 mya, followed by Homo erectus, 1.2 mya. Our species Homo sapiens, which is estimated to have emerged roughly 300,000 years ago, is thought to have occupied sites in the gorge by 17,000 years ago.
