'The history of Southern Africa is closely linked to geological events which happened hundreds of millions of years before the arrival of man. Among such events were the formation of the gold-rich Witwatersrand Basin and the lodes, ores and deposits of iron and almost every mineral of the diamond pipes; the laying down of coal beds and the manner of the break up of Gondwanaland, which left inhospitable shores and formidable mountains as obstacles to exploration and settlement from without.

The earliest indications of life on earth are found in South Africa and it becomes increasingly certain that earliest man and finally Homo sapiens made their first appearances here in Africa.' - editor's note
