About

Beneath the surface of the Cape Floristic Region lies a hidden bounty that was vital to early human diets—underground storage organs of plants.

In this talk, Dr Elzanne Singels explores how these edible roots provided essential nutrition and contributed to human survival in the Stone Age, shedding light on the deep connections between people and plants in southern Africa.
