Evidence that highlights our African birthplace and our place in nature
Evidence that needs to be discovered, preserved and shared
Through research
We believe the origin sciences have a fundamental message to teach us about ourselves and our place in nature. That’s why PAST funds and backs African research and leadership within this science.
Education
All people everywhere share common African origins. PAST runs schools-based educational programmes to teach our youth about our shared origins.
Public understanding
The transformative power of palaeontology’s message can’t be withheld from the world. That’s why PAST endeavours to communicate what we know and learn globally.
