Date: 06/07/2019

Photo-illustrated interview with MATTHEW BERGER on his role in the two greatest Human Origins discoveries of recent years.

MARK from Evolution Soup talks with Matthew about both Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi - two new hominid species found in South Africa in 2008 & 2013 respectively, when Matthew was still a child. In both cases, Matthew had a big role in these finds as part of the teams led by his father - paleoanthropologist Lee Berger.
