		The fossil came from Sterkfontein Cave and was attributed to the genus Australopithecus africanus (STS 5).
		It was this notion that I became interested in and with samples obtained from the Transvaal Museum, I proceeded to test the relationship of sex and Sr/Ca discrimination among a large sample of Parapapio broomi fossils (baboons) from Swartkrans Cave.
		The visit to the Transvaal Museum allowed me the opportunity to further explore the sexual attributions of the P. broomi samples in my study and to examine the sex of the Australopithecus robustus samples used in Sillen's earlier analysis.

	Mrs Ples and our distant relatives
		"Mrs Ples" is the nickname for a fossil that was discovered by Dr Robert Broom of the Transvaal Museum at the Sterkfontein Caves in 1947.
		The very first flat-faced "robust" hominid was discovered in 1938 by a schoolboy, Gert Terblanche, at Kromdraai, where the Transvaal Museum continues to undertake excavations.
		My dream of having one copy of Mrs Ples per school in the country within a period of 20 years is an attainable objective, one that may help to stimulate new young minds to turn to palaeontology as a career, to address many of the challenging questions which are currently being raised by new discoveries.

		Afterwards Broom carefully removed the chunk of rock in which the lower part of the skull was embedded and took both parts to the Transvaal Museum where he prepared it.
