Palaeontologia Africana (PA)

Palaeontologia Africana is a long-established peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to palaeontology, with a strong focus on African fossil research. It is the official journal of the Evolutionary Studies Institute, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. Established in 1953 by the Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, the journal was created to publish significant fossil research arising from its rapidly growing collections. Over time, it has expanded to include studies in palaeontology, palaeoanthropology, and palaeobotany. The journal publishes original research articles, systematic descriptions, and analytical studies that contribute to understanding the evolution of life on Earth, particularly within the African continent. It serves as an important platform for researchers working on vertebrate and invertebrate fossils, hominin evolution, stratigraphy, and related Earth sciences. The journal is open-access in electronic form, allowing free global availability of its content. Published primarily in English, Palaeontologia Africana supports scientific collaboration and dissemination of high-quality palaeontological research. It is supported by academic institutions and research organizations such as the Palaeontological Scientific Trust (PAST). The journal continues to play a key role in advancing palaeontological science in Africa and internationally.
