摘要:The book 1 entitled Kromdraai: A birthplace of Paranthropus in the Cradle of Humankind, a South African heritage site, which we co-edited, was published by SUN PReSS (AFRICAN SUN MeDIA) after peer review. The book relates to the Kromdraai Research Project (KRP), which is an enterprising and exciting scientific venture aimed at promoting palaeontological science and transfer of knowledge in the Cradle of Humankind, declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999.
