Jive Media has just completed a tour around South Africa
visiting the prehistory sites that have shaped world knowledge on the
evolution of life – and more recently human life – on our planet. These
palaeontological and archaeological sites create a fantastic
opportunity to share science with the public. Jive Media has produced 3
books about the sites, specifically a learner guide, a tourism guide
and portfolio of research activities. We have also produced a series of
newspaper articles that have featured in the Sunday Times Travel and
Food supplement and on the Timeslive website (http://www.timeslive.co.za/).
Nonhlanhla Vilakazi, a palaeo-herpitologist (studies fossilized reptiles), came along for the ride and recorded her experiences (in words, images and video clips) on a weblog.
