Underground Astronauts information


Cross-section of the Rising Star Cave system

The Underground Astronauts is the name given to a group of six scientists, Hannah Morris, Marina Elliott, Becca Peixotto, Alia Gurtov, K. Lindsay (then Eaves) Hunter,[1] and Elen Feuerriegel, who excavated the bones of Homo naledi from the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system in Gauteng, South Africa.[2][3][4][5][6] The six women were selected by the expedition leader, Lee Rogers Berger,[7][8] who posted a message on Facebook asking for scientists with experience in paleontological excavations and caving, and were slender enough for cramped spaces.[6] Within ten days of the post, Berger had received almost sixty applicants and chose six scientists to make up his expedition team.[9]
