位于北开普省的达尼埃尔斯库伊和库鲁曼之间南非省是Wonderwerk洞穴，那里的挖掘工作从1978年到1996年发现了一个约6米深的沉积物，九个主要单位（MU），其中一些已经通过放射性碳测年，铀系方法与古地磁学。岩屑在这些沉积物中的继承被发现是晚石器时代， MU1为1.0 - 12.5 kyr ago，MU2为中石器时代，约70- > 220 kyr前，Fauresmith在MU 3 - 4在~270-c。500 kyr前，非常稀疏的双面组合在此之前，以> 0.78百万年BP。关联收集到的异国情调的河卵石和石英晶体在MU 2 - 4，切割线的便携式石头， MU 1 - 4，MU 4中的草垫层区域，MU 1 - 4中的红色颜料块， 1 - 7号单元，以及1 - 9号单元中使用火的痕迹。这些发现，作为一个整体，被用来支持一个场景，作为生物文化进化的中心区域在一段时期内，更新世

Located between Danielskuil and Kuruman in the Northern Cape province of South Africa is Wonderwerk Cave, where excavations from 1978 to 1996 revealed a ~6-m depth of deposits made up of nine Major Units (MUs), of which some have been dated by radiocarbon, the U-series method and palaeomagnetism. The lithic succession in those sediments was found to be Later Stone Age in MU1 at 1.0-12.5 kyr ago, Middle Stone Age in MU2 at ~70 to >220 kyr ago, Fauresmith in MUs 3-4 at ~270-c. 500 kyr ago, and very sparse biface assemblages before then to >0.78 Myr BP. Associated behaviours are represented by collected exotic river pebbles and quartz crystals in MUs 2-4, incised lines on portable stones in MUs 1-4, a grass bedding area in MU4, red pigment pieces in MUs 1-7, and traces of the use of fire in MUs 1-9. These findings, as a whole, are taken to support a scenario that sees the upland savannas at the southern end of Africa as a focal region of biocultural evolution over a period extending back to before the onset of the Middle Pleistocene.
