Every year, from late May to early July, a global team of students, paleoanthropologists, geologists and faunal experts, traveling from South Africa, Australia, the United States and Europe, make the trip to Drimolen, a system of caves located north of Johannesburg in South Africa and within the “Cradle of Humankind.” This fossil excavation team, which I am part of, arrives each year with renewed hope of unearthing preserved and complete skulls of human ancestors. From the moment we step off the plane, we search in earnest, anticipating our big break could happen at any minute, lying in wait among the rock and dirt.

âI strongly dislike the joint (sentencing) submission put before me,â said Ontario Court Justice Heather-Ann Mendes Monday as she issued the sentence along with a two-year probation order, DNA order, ordered that Allan Seltzer be listed on the national sex offendersâ registry for 10 years, and a five-year weapons ban. âBut for the mitigating factor of Mr. Seltzerâs health, this is a situation where a clear message of denunciation and deterrence for those who engage in sexual offences while in positions of authority, must be sent.â
