NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LIVE: THE BEGINNING OF US
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER AND PALEOANTHROPOLOGIST – Lee Berger
Marshall E. Rinker Sr. Playhouse.
Thursday, October 19 at 7:30 p.m.
In 2008, paleoanthropologist Lee Berger uncovered Australopithecus sediba, an early hominid ancestor who fell into a cavernous deathtrap nearly two million years ago. The discovery helped clarify (and complicate) the origins of modern humanity. Berger is back in the headlines with an even more monumental find — a new hominid species that made tools, art, and even buried its dead. This glimpse into the past held the potential to rewrite our family tree in real time and add to the story of our remarkable ancient ancestors. But first, Berger had to squeeze underground. Come along with him on a journey into the Cave of Bones.
National Geographic Explorer in Residence Lee Berger is known for some of
the most important archaeological discoveries in history. His relationship with National Geographic began with a grant in 1996, and he received the Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year award in 2016. He is an Honorary Professor at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Tickets start at $35*
