Lee Berger: Cave of Bones


The discovery of an early hominid ancestor in 2008 by paleoanthropologist and National Geographic Explorer Lee Berger helped clarify and complicate the origins of modern humanity. Lee is back in the headlines with an even more monumental find — a new species in South Africa that made tools, art, and even buried its dead. This glimpse into the past holds the potential to rewrite our family tree in real time and add to the story of our remarkable ancient ancestors.

National Geographic Explorer in Residence and award-winning paleoanthropologist, Lee Berger is known for some of the most important archaeological discoveries in history. In April 2016, Berger was named by Time Magazine as one of its "100 most influential people" and in 2019, the Smithsonian magazine honoured him as part of their The Top Ten Scientific Discoveries of the Decade. Take a step into the ancient past with Lee Berger as part of the Werklund Centre’s National Geographic Live series, live at the Jack Singer Concert Hall.
