Lee Berger. Australopithecus Sediba, the most recent revolutionary discovery in the evolution of mankind - Encounters

His name means "source" in the local language. Australopithecus Sediba lived at the same time as the first Homo in East Africa, less than two million years ago, thus potentially shifting our direct ancestors' origin from Ethiopia to South Africa.  Like all of our ancestors, he's a unique mosaic of features which Lee Berger will be helping us to decipher.
