Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania is one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world. Located in the eastern Serengeti Plains, it has yielded a wealth of fossilized remains and artifacts that provide crucial insights into the early evolution of humans. The gorge is particularly famous for the discovery of early hominid fossils, including those of Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus. Excavations at Olduvai Gorge, led by renowned archaeologists such as Louis and Mary Leakey, have uncovered stone tools and other evidence of early human life dating back nearly two million years.
