Origin of Humankind
Of the thousands of hominin fossils discovered in South Africa, four extinct fossil species have been identified: Australopithecus africanus, Paranthropus robustus, Homo ergaster and Homo heidelbergensis. To commemorate the Origin of Humankind, the South African Post Office issued this set of stamps on 10 November 2006. Dr Francois Durand created the artwork for this stamp issue.
