description: While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I'd be cautious about calling Mossel Bay the "birthplace of modern humanity." Homo sapiens emerged over a much larger geographic area and timespan. Multiple sites across Africa show evidence of early modern behavior. That said, Pinnacle Point is definitely significant.

description: Excellent piece. The Pinnacle Point caves represent some of the most important Paleolithic sites in the world. The evidence of early symbolic behavior and advanced tool-making found there has genuinely revolutionized our understanding of the Middle Stone Age in Africa. Scholars who haven't visited these sites should make the pilgrimage.

description: Really interesting article, but I have a question - what specific evidence have they found in these caves that proves modern humans were there? Is it tools, bones, or something else?

description: This is fascinating! I've always wondered where modern humans first developed their advanced cognitive abilities, and it sounds like Mossel Bay might hold some crucial answers. The cave clusters must be incredible archaeological sites.
