Olduvai, mildly interesting
Olduvai Gorge is arguably the most important fossil sites in the world. Over thirty miles long and about three-hundred feet deep, the gorge is part of a World Heritage Site called the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It is famous for the evolutionary discoveries of some of the earliest signs of human development.
The rocks that make up the ravine can be dated back to 2.1 million years ago and more than 60 hominid fossil remains have been located within the gorge. The Olduvai Gorge has provided us with the most continuous record showing the evolution of humans during the past 2 million years.
