A few years ago, Khethi Nkosi would not have paid attention to anything about archaeology. But then he discovered a molar tooth that turned out to be a clue that led to a 2 million-year-old fossil that was later named after him.
When Nkosi took ownership of a farm in Gauteng, he didn’t think much about the property that is situated on a hominid fossil-bearing site in Drimolen, north-west of Johannesburg and close to the Sterkfontein Caves.
