Taung Child: Africa’s 2.8‑Million‑Year‑Old Mystery that Changed Human Evolution !

Discovered in 1924 by archaeologist Raymond Dart, the Taung Child forever changed the story of human evolution. This 3-year-old skull of Australopithecus africanus proved that human ancestors first walked on African soil 2.8 million years ago.
The tiny fossil revealed bipedal walking through its low-positioned foramen magnum — a clear sign of upright posture.
Even more fascinating, scientists found evidence that this child met a tragic end from an eagle attack, teaching us how early humans lived and died.

Watch this video to see how one small skull reshaped the world’s view on human origins.
