Mrs. Ples, a famous fossil skull of a southern ape, was discovered in 1947 at the Sterkfontein Caves near Johannesburg, South Africa. The find was made by a team led by paleontologist Robert Broom, who initially thought the skull belonged to a new species of Australopithecus. The fossil, dating back about 2 million years, provided significant insights into human evolution and our ancestral lineage. Mrs. Ples is considered one of the most important early hominid fossils ever found.
