Evolutionary Humour, SA style

The last couple of days have been public holidays here – yesterday was National Women’s Day – and today I took advantage of this to visit the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site – specifically the Sterkfontein Caves, a very important location in the study of early hominids. I’ll probably write a more detailed post about my visit over the weekend, but it’s nice to see that despite its noticeable religious conservatism, South Africa’s palaeoanthropological heritage is being properly celebrated and made open to the public. With that thought in mind, I’d just like to share with you these postcards I found in the gift shop there.

Pretty corny, perhaps, but I think Brian could point me to some people who wouldn’t find these at all amusing.
