We explore in some rather extreme spaces when we are searching for evidence of ancient human relatives in the Rising Star cave. This was taken a while ago with Maropeng Mpete, a senior members of the exploration team and I going into a deep chamber. It’s called upside down turnaround for a reason

For those who don't know, Maropeng is the visitor's center for the Cradle of Humankind, the world heritage site where Australopethicus Sediba and Homo Naledi fossils were discovered. This is a place where no 6000-years believer would ever take a child.
