This statue is at the entranceway to the long stairway into Sterkfontein. The man with the polished bronze nose is Robert Broom, an Scots-born paleontologist who discovered the Australopithecus africanus. He's contemplating the skull of Mrs. Ples, which is the name given to this first identified of our ancient hominid ancestors.
