Ronald J. Clarke is an paleoanthropologist most notable for the discovery of "Little Foot", an extraordinary complete skeleton of Australopithecus, in the Sterkfontein Caves. He also discovered the Homo ergaster partial cranium SK 847.[1] He was associated with the University of the Witwatersrand until he was fired by Lee Berger, the head of the university's Palaeoanthropology Research Unit. He was then hired by Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main in Frankfurt, Germany and allowed to continue his work excavating "Little Foot."[2]
