It also contains some of the earliest mammals and dinosaurs ever found, with some of them living about 140 to 100 million years ago.

The hominids found at the site are thought to have lived around one to six million years ago.

In fact, according to the October 1, 2009 article, by the General Information Center Pretoria, titled International Field School on Hominid Evolution in Africa held in Malawi, “The oldest remains of the genus Homo ever found, 2.5 million years old, were discovered there in the nineties by Prof. Friedemann Schrenk of the University of Frankfurt.”

The extinct species is called Homo rudolfensis, presumed to be the oldest species to be discovered and verified within the scientific community within the genus Homo.
