This exhibition showcases the results of archaeological research at three coastal sites in the southern Cape of South Africa: Blombos Cave, Klipdrift Shelter and Klasies River main sites. Part of a long-term programme aiming to make palaeosciences accessible to the public, the exhibition befittingly started more locally, first at Stellenbosch and then at the Iziko South African Museums in Cape Town, before moving to Johannesburg. The exhibition opened at the Origins Centre of the University of the Witwatersrand on 25 November 2021. To those of us who attended the opening, it provided an opportunity to hear from the archaeologists, curators and designers behind the exhibition. The exhibition opened to the public on 27 November.

本次展览展示了南非南开普省三个沿海遗址的考古研究成果：Blombos Cave、Klipdrift Shelter 和 Klasies River 主要遗址。作为旨在使公众能够接触到古科学的长期计划的一部分，该展览恰如其分地在当地开始，首先在斯泰伦博斯，然后在开普敦的伊兹科南非博物馆，然后搬到约翰内斯堡。展览于 2021 年 11 月 25 日在金山大学起源中心开幕。对于我们这些参加开幕式的人来说，它提供了一个聆听展览背后的考古学家、策展人和设计师的机会。展览于11月27日向公众开放。
