Harry in South Africa, 2017


#Harry was to deliver the John Matthews Memorial Lecture at the Microscopy Society of Southern Africa’s Annual Conference, held from 4 to 7 December 2017 at the Forever Resort in Warmbaths. The lecture is supported by the National Science Foundation of South Africa and also involves visits to a number of Universties to deliver further lectures and for discussions.





Cradle of Humankind

A species is defined as the group within which pairs can breed to produce a fertile offspring. So a horse and a donkey are separate species since when they interbreed to produce an ass, the latter is infertile. A genus is a race within which there can be many species. A horse, donkey and Zebra belong to the same genus called Eqqus.* Humans belong to the genus Homo; contemporary humans have the genus Homo and species Sapiens, hence the term Homo sapiens, a species that is about 200,000 years old.

*although this definition of species does not explain how homo sapiens and neanderthals, which are from different species, managed to interbreed and inherit each other's genetic information.

In 2013, another species about 2,500,000 years old was discovered in South Africa, Homo naledi in the Maropeng caves. This is the story of Homo naledi, based on fifteen individuals covering the whole of the age range. A truly remarkable discovery.

Lucy is a member of the Australopithecus genus, i.e. differenct from the Homo genus. There are striking similarities between the Australopithecus and Homo genera, such as the upright posture and bipedal movement. Australopithecines have smaller brains. Lucy is some 3.2 million years old, but on the 6th of December 2017, an almost complete skeleton of "Little Foot", also found at Sterkfontein, was identified as being older at about 3.7 million years old.

The building in the distance has the Centre for High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy. Although eduroam was available, Harry was not, for inexplicable reasons, able connect with the internet. May have something to do with the fact that the University changed its name from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University to the same without the "metropolitan".

This shows the podium where Cecil Rhodes' statue resided, but was removed by agreement between the students and academic staff of the University because Rhodes was not a nice man when it came to issues of race. Oriel College in Oxford decided not to remove Cecil Rhodes' statue. The University of Oxford's Chancellor, Chris Patten, intepreted the attempt to remove the statue as a failure to embrace freedom of thought, stating that they (campaigners) may "think about being educated elsewhere". There were indirect threats made to withdraw 100 million GBP of donations should the statue be removed.
