Dr. Berger has discovered and described TWO new hominin species in South Africa in the past ~20 years, which is really incredible. In the Part 1 video, he describes how he discovered hundreds of cave sites and the moment his 9-year-old son found a fossil skull of the previously unknown Australopithecus sediba hominin. In Parts 2 and 3, Dr. Berger describes the incredible fossil site at Dinaledi Cave, the challenges of that research location, and the bizarre physical characteristics of new species Homo naledi.
