Wednesday Nite @ The Lab

Homo naledi is the newest member of the human family tree, discovered by Lee Berger and the Rising Star expedition project in 2013. Hawks is a core scientist who has been part of the H. naledi story from the start. His lecture will review the discovery, including footage from the field, a discussion of how the new species was identified, and an explanation of its position in our evolutionary history. Three-dimensional prints of the fossils will also be on hand.
