Tribute to Abel Molepolle and the central role of the Sterkfontein Caves technicians in international palaeoanthropological research
We present this article on the occasion of the retirement of Abel Molepolle, a Sterkfontein senior technician who is a lifelong link between the past and present of palaeoanthropological research at Sterkfontein Caves (South Africa). Along with other team members of this internationally important fossil site, he has played an essential role in advancing humanity’s understanding of our evolution. This article highlights the part played by Molepolle and other South African technicians dating back to the 1936 inception of the work at these key heritage sites.
