Has Berger gone too far this time?  The "P.T. Barnum" of paleoanthropology had the Homo naledi and Australopithecus sediba fossils jettisoned into space on board the Virgin Galatic spaceship. They were stuck in a container.  Astronaut/Passenger billionaire Timothy Nash stuck them in the pocket of his spacesuit. 

But was it for science?  Or, for Berger's ego has some have suggested.  The South Africa evolutionary science professor has a big Netflix series and a just released book out, Cave of Bones.
