Since Malapa and the other sinkholes and caverns around Sterkfontein were leopard dens and not habitation sites, and especially since the "skeleton" is made up of pieces of several small individuals, I suspect it would be better to say that the "missing link" is actually lots of pieces of scat -- food sources puttering around on the surrounding plains.
For anyone visiting the area, the main caves and the lab are open to visitation and are worth the effort. john ----- Original Message ----- From: Gill Edigar To: Cavers Texas Sent: Saturday, April 03, 2010 11:09 PM Subject: [Texascavers] Fwd: Confirmed: Missing link a caver ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cheryl Jones <cheryl.ca...@verizon.net> List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 9:34 PM Subject: Confirmed: Missing link a caver To: siv...@listserv.vt.edu http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/evolution/7550033/Missing-link-between-man-and-apes-found.html
