Summary

"Professor Lee Berger's colleagues feared that scientists has already found all the early human fossils we were ever likely to find. After decases of exhaustively combing over some of the most studied and excavated fossil hunting ground on the planet--South Africa's Cradle of Humankind--there was talk of shutting down field exploration and focusing exclusively on lab study of fossils. Then, one day Lee found a tool to see familiar terrain in a whole new way. Google Earth. Carefully searching his screen, Lee found many new caves and potential fossil sites. On August 15, 2008, his 9-year-old son, Matthew, made a discovery that would turn him into a national hero--and transform the field of human evolution forever"--P. [2] of cover
