In 2013, Lee Berger, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence,
caught wind of a cache of bones in a hard-to-reach
underground cave in South Africa. He put out a call around
the world for petite collaborators--men and women small and
adventurous enough to be able to squeeze through 8-inch tunnels to
reach a sunless cave 40 feet underground. With this team of
"underground astronauts,"Â Berger made the discovery of a
lifetime: hundreds of prehistoric bones, including entire
skeletons of at least 15 individuals, all perhaps two million years
old. Their features combined those of known prehominids like
Lucy, the famous Australopithecus, with those more human than
anything ever before seen in prehistoric remains. Berger's
team had discovered an all new species, and they called it
Homo naledi.
