A region that is believed to be the location of the Eden Park stores of biological riches that saves mankind from extinction. Residents are able to survive in most exstreme climate change ice age thousands of years ago.

The place was located on the southern coast of South Africa. Presumably, this is the only place that still can be inhabited by humans in the ice age that lasted about 195,000 years ago.


Excavations conducted in the vicinity of the site shows the diversity of vegetation and ocean currents bahah rich in nutrients. It is this factor that makes the residents do not lack food in the middle of climate change that devastated all the species on earth. In that study, Prof. Marean found hidden cave was the most protected in the region, now known as Pinnacle Point. The location is 386 km east of Cape Town, South Africa.

"Shortly after the evolution of Homo Sapiens, the climatic conditions are very hard so that humans almost became extinct at the time," said Professor Curtis Marean, a professor of prehistory from Arizona State University.

Experts suspect, not many humans who survive in this period. Allegations that the population is now only come from a little man who can survive based on the amount of genetic diversity in modern humans, relatively at least compared to other species.

Some researchers even claim there was a time when humans lived just a few hundred people remaining. Nevertheless, many people who doubt this theory because it is not supported by scientific evidence is quite strong.
