to move all this equipment in it took quite a bit of doing to get power to

microscope setup and the monitor it it took a while and it took a lot of

took a while and it took a lot of

took a while and it took a lot of planning in Joburg one thing that’s

planning in Joburg one thing that’s

planning in Joburg one thing that’s important to us is to have material that

important to us is to have material that

important to us is to have material that we can compare the fossils that are

we can compare the fossils that are

we can compare the fossils that are coming out of cake with so we have both

coming out of cake with so we have both

coming out of cake with so we have both modern material we have modern human

modern material we have modern human

modern material we have modern human skeleton which helps us make anatomical

skeleton which helps us make anatomical

skeleton which helps us make anatomical identifications and then these are

identifications and then these are

identifications and then these are replicas of the kinds of fossil hominins

replicas of the kinds of fossil hominins

replicas of the kinds of fossil hominins that we might expect to define in a cape

that we might expect to define in a cape

that we might expect to define in a cape around here it’s it’s a good reference

around here it’s it’s a good reference

around here it’s it’s a good reference for the kind of anatomy that we’re

for the kind of anatomy that we’re

for the kind of anatomy that we’re looking for but you know there’s a skull

looking for but you know there’s a skull

looking for but you know there’s a skull up in the cave which we’re waiting to

up in the cave which we’re waiting to

up in the cave which we’re waiting to come out any any day now maybe today

come out any any day now maybe today

come out any any day now maybe today maybe tomorrow the skull will be here

maybe tomorrow the skull will be here

maybe tomorrow the skull will be here and we really need these parts of the

and we really need these parts of the

and we really need these parts of the skeleton in order to figure out what

skeleton in order to figure out what

skeleton in order to figure out what we’re looking at and you’ve got to know

we’re looking at and you’ve got to know

we’re looking at and you’ve got to know the players before you can understand

the players before you can understand

the players before you can understand the play so we’re we need that sculpt we

the play so we’re we need that sculpt we

the play so we’re we need that sculpt we want it to would I rather be here in the

want it to would I rather be here in the

want it to would I rather be here in the tent or down in the cave I’d rather be

tent or down in the cave I’d rather be

tent or down in the cave I’d rather be both places to tell you the truth yeah I

both places to tell you the truth yeah I

both places to tell you the truth yeah I love being here love seeing the

love being here love seeing the

love being here love seeing the materials it comes in this gives us a

materials it comes in this gives us a

materials it comes in this gives us a chance to start making sense of it and

chance to start making sense of it and

chance to start making sense of it and that is so it’s just so great to be here

that is so it’s just so great to be here

that is so it’s just so great to be here but I also want to be down there digging

but I also want to be down there digging

but I also want to be down there digging it up I really do it looks like they’re

it up I really do it looks like they’re

it up I really do it looks like they’re having the time of their life so if i

having the time of their life so if i

having the time of their life so if i could have both i would get both the

could have both i would get both the

could have both i would get both the best is yet to come here this is just

best is yet to come here this is just

best is yet to come here this is just great

great

great you
