Paleontologists consider Mrs. Ples STS 5 the most complete skull of an Australopithecus africanus specimen ever discovered. In 1947, paleontologist Dr. Robert Broom and his assistant, John Robinson, found the skull encased in breccia (a rocky matrix) at Sterkfontein.

Pleaser, Mrs. Ples STS 5 skull replica, buys a huge wooden white rocking chair for her patio and orders sand to cover all of the cement. She adds beautiful seashells. She sits in her chair every morning while sipping her hot coffee.

Lucy, the Australopithecus afarensis Lucy skull replica, is envious of Pleaser and goes out to duplicate the same set-up for her backyard.

Aussie, the Australopithecus jaw replica, brings palm trees over and plants them in Pleaser’s yard for her to enjoy.

Zink, the Zinjanthropus male skull replica, loves that the seagulls have made a nest in the palm trees. He can’t wait to see the cute little chicks hatch.
