Resumen del Editor

In the summer of 2022, Lee Berger lost 50 pounds in order to wriggle though impossibly small openings in the Rising Star cave complex in South Africa—spaces where his team has been unearthing the remains of Homo naledi, a proto-human likely to have coexisted with Homo sapiens some 250,000 years ago. The lead researcher on the site, still Berger had never made his way into the dark, cramped, dangerous underground spaces where many of the naledi fossils had been found. Now he was ready to do so. Once inside the cave, Berger made shocking new discoveries that expand our understanding of this early hominid—discoveries that stand to alter our fundamental understanding of what makes us human. So what does it all mean? Join Berger on the adventure of a lifetime as he explores the Rising Star cave system and begins the complicated process of explaining these extraordinary finds—finds that force a rethinking of human evolution, and discoveries that Berger calls "the Rosetta stone of the human mind."

informative and insightful

what a great read and I really like that it is read by the authors. I found it educacional and informative and learned a lot about the study of early homo-species from the book. the homo-naledi is definitely intriguing and I'm so glad the authors keep pushing the envelope and questioning long héld tenets of the scientific community. BRAVO

Advancement of early man theory

Exceptional book. Loved every minute of the book. The process the authors used to go through their step by step method to prove their ideas to evidence was very informative.

So interesting.

Well written. Kept my interest. I had no idea that this evidence was found. I would recommend if you are interested in human ancestry.

Great story

Well written, digestible information, entertaining. I couldn’t ask for anything more! I’m going to purchase the hard copy just so I can have it in my physical library!

Fascinating stuff.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. So much so that as soon as it was over I started it again. I might listen to it a third time to catch all the little pieces.

Well Done

A fascinating look into the passion of a scientist, and the astounding discoveries his team makes. A surprisingly accessible, compelling, and well-narrated book for its genre.

The Reality of It All

This book takes you into the lives and determination of the authors to go into the cave called The Rising Star and be there himself you can actually feel the fear & struggles. Great book, Narration was great
