About

Cave of Bones: A True Story of Discovery, Adventure, and Human Origins (International Paperback) by Lee Berger and John Hawks is a gripping, real-world account of the 2022 Rising Star cave expedition in South Africa. Palaeoanthropologist Lee Berger even slimmed down by 50 pounds to navigate narrow, treacherous passages in search of Homo naledi fossils—an ancient hominin species that coexisted with early Homo sapiens around 250,000 years ago. The book immerses readers into the perilous underground world and the scientific breakthroughs within it, revealing discoveries that may reshape our understanding of human evolution and identity.
