‘I was speechless’—Caver recalls historic moment discovering new species of human

In 2019, Homo naledia and Australopithecus sediba were put on public display for the first time in Dallas, Texas, at the Perot Museum.

At the time, Professor Adam Habib, Vice-Chancellor and Principal of Wits University, said: “We are excited to share these South African national treasures, of which Wits University is the custodian, to audiences across the world.

“Science should have no boundaries and our collective knowledge must be made available.

“These fossils are evidence of our common origins and the research and knowledge thereof must transcend institutional, national and even disciplinary boundaries so that they mark a path to a collective future defined by human solidarity.

“Our partnership with the Perot Museum is built in this spirit, and we look forward to enhancing it in the coming years.”
