Australopithecus well-known as The Taung Child found in 1924 revolutioned our view of human origins. It provided as human evolved in Africa, not Eurasia as previously thought. Recently, a fossilised bee's nest reveals an insight into original place in which that early human lived more 3 million years ago. It precisely thought that Taung Child was unearthed in the remains of small cavern as the rocks containing the skull appear similiar to cave-formed limestones.
According to Philip Hopley from University of London, all other south African hominis come from cave sediment formed within a ilk of limestones, Precambrian. And he said that the Taung Child was preserved at approximately 2,8 million-years-old surface soil.
The conclution said that it raises hope of future fossil discoveries at Taung. The search for more hominin fossis has focused on the immediate area around where the Taung Chid was found, because of the assumption that the fossil formed in a relatively small limestone chamber.
