RE: The first Robustus

in #science7 years ago

The skull was found by a 15 year old schoolboy, Gert Terblanche on the farm Kromdraai. In trying to remove a souvenir he broke off the palate and some teeth and took them to show his schoolmates and the manager at Sterkfontein. Once Broom saw the palate he rushed off to the school to find Gert and the rest of the teeth.

I think that skull will be good for research in schools
