• March 2020
Archaeologist Becca Peixotto is part of a team of six women scientists who helped uncover an ancient human relative, Homo naledi, from deep underground in a cave in South Africa. She shares the journey through the complex and narrow passages of the cave and her own winding path to archaeology as well as the spirit of curiosity, exploration, and risk taking that lead to both ground-breaking discoveries and personal ones.
