  • ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Toward a Sustainable Galapagos the Events of 2009 in Galapagos Were Viewed Through an Unusual Prism
    ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Toward a Sustainable Galapagos The events of 2009 in Galapagos were viewed through an unusual prism. The year celebrated the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection, and focused on how Galapagos has fared more than a century after Darwin’s seminal work. The international press was full of thoughtful essays on the state of biodiversity, the state of intellectual debate on evolution, and the state of the Galapagos Islands. If Darwin were to have visited Galapagos in 2009, much of what he would have seen on the uninhabited islands would have pleased him. Species that were hunted to near extinction have been brought back by careful stewardship and excellent science. The landscapes have changed very little on the uninhabited islands—the result of a strong park management system. Conservation management has evolved, yielding new and exciting developments in ecosystem restoration, invasive species control, and marine system protection. Darwin would appreciate this increasing knowledge and the wealth of new species that continue to be discovered and protected. And his naturalist’s heart would be lightened, knowing that thousands of “citizen scientists” visit these islands daily and are inspired and delighted by the natural world. Stepping back from this biological perspective, we see another, very different Galapagos. We see a social system unable to sustain basic public health and safety services. The population of Galapagos is now nearing 30,000, having doubled in less than ten years. Economic development is encouraged which is wholly inconsistent with the natural resources available.

Snapshot: This pre-historic charcoal drawing of an unknown animal is one of the oldest known artworks that originated from the African continent. At the time of its creation it would have been considered nothing more than a drawing, but today this collection of drawings is some of the first evidence we have of early human communication. These stones originate from the Apollo 11 caves in Namibia and were likely meant to illustrate the game that could be found in the region at that time. It is unclear if there is a story being told by the drawings but it is probable that they all display a continuity that could be understood by the people in the region during the time frame of their creation and could be used to communicate some idea. Through very precise carbon dating, these drawings are able to give scientists a timeframe of when changes in human behavior occurred and when social and biological evolution was happening among the human race, as well as show us where humanity’s first hunter and gatherer societies began. This ancient art was what the humans of its day used to communicate with each other and would seem very insignificant at the time, but in today's society this piece lets us study more about humanity’s humble beginnings.

  • Who Lived in the Stellenbosch Winelands Before 1652?
    WHO LIVED IN THE STELLENBOSCH WINELANDS BEFORE 1652? This short essay describes what is currently known about the archaeology and history of the Stone Age people who lived in the vicinity of Stellenbosch and adjacent Winelands in the Western Cape before European colonisation. When and where did the human story begin? There is abundant archaeological evidence from stone tools, and a few human remains, that Stone Age hunter-gatherer people lived in the Western Cape for about a million years. As yet, there is no evidence in this region for the earliest stone tools and fossil hominin remains that date to between 1 and at least 3 million years ago in the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng, Limpopo and North-West provinces. It is not clear whether this is a result of a limited ecological range in which the early hominins lived, or of the absence of suitable geological formations for the preservation of bone. What do we mean by the Stone Age? The Stone Age was the time when most of the tools that hunter-gatherer people used were made by striking one stone against another – a hammerstone against a core – so that sharp edges were created on the sides of the core and on the flakes that were detached. Many fine-grained rocks will produce flakes with edges that are sharper than a metal knife, but stone becomes blunt much more quickly than metal. Archaeologists focus on stone tools as the primary source of evidence for the presence of people in the landscape in the past because the tools are almost indestructible and therefore are often all that is left behind after bones, wood, plant remains and shells have disintegrated.
