Hopefully, I will get back to South Africa in a few years, and I can visit this cave.

Read that too, interesting find in the light of the discussion about the mental development of early humans; when symbolic thinking popped up, language, religion... |

They think it might have been used in primitive religious ceremonies. It too had ocher on it, on the scapula I think they said.

But hey, that's cool. I mean, didn't we find some mummified dinosaurs in some big Egyptian tombs or something?
