Everything about Swartkrans totally explained

Swartkrans is a location in South Africa, around 20 miles from Johannesburg.
   Swartkrans is a farm near to Sterkfontein, notable for being extremely rich in archaeological material, particularly hominid remains. It was purchased by the University of the Witwatersrand in 1968. The oldest deposits present at the site are believed to be between 1.8 and 2 million years old.
   Fossils discovered in the limestone of Swartkrans include Telanthropus capensis (a variety of Homo erectus), Paranthropus and Homo habilis Noted paleontologist Robert Broom was a frequent digger. He was followed by Charles Kimberlin Brain (C.K. 'Bob' Brain), whose excavations at the site inspired his book The Hunters or the Hunted? in which he demonstrated that instead of being bloodthirsty killer apes, the hominin fossils found at the site were themselves victims of predation by big cats.
