Palaeoanthropology: The coast in colour
Sally McBrearty1 & Chris Stringer1
Abstract
A South African cave overlooking the Indian Ocean was apparently a desirable residence for early humans. The site has provided rich evidence for the early use of colour and marine resources.
On the basis of both fossil and genetic data, we know that Homo sapiens had evolved in Africa by 150,000–200,000 years ago. But the time and manner of human behavioural evolution are less clear.
