Dr. Lee Berger & Homo Naledi, Newly Found Human Species

Dr Berger talked at the American Museum of Natural History about finding Homo naledi, a new species of human, deep in a cave in South Africa.

----------

"The new hominin species was announced by an international team of more than 60 scientists led by Lee R. Berger, an American paleoanthropologist who is a professor at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.

 

"'With almost every bone in the body represented multiple times, Homo naledi is already practically the best-known fossil member of our lineage,' Dr. Berger said."
