Like his great-grandfather, Prince Albert I, the Sovereign is increasingly interested in the history of humanity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Prince Albert II hasn’t stopped travelling all summer. After his meeting with the Royal Family of Norway<\/a> and Pope Francis at the Vatican<\/a>, the Sovereign visited Spain on Tuesday, 26 July. More precisely, he visited the caves of the Sierra Atapuerca, near Burgos. \n \n<\/p>\n\n

Accompanied by the Monegasque ambassador to Spain, Catherine Fautrier-Rousseau, Prince Albert II visited the prehistoric site of the Sierra Atapuerca where many hominid fossils are to be found. It is on this site, in fact, that the oldest male of the Homo genus was discovered and named Homo antecessor.<\/p>\n\n

For the occasion, the Sovereign swapped his traditional suite for a more practical archaeologist’s outfit. During his visit, he was able to see the latest discovery made on the site. This summer, a hominid jawbone was unearthed, dating back four hundred thousand years.<\/p>\n\n
