Show Notes

Season 2, Episode 8

 Getting stuck deep underground with thousands of years old human remains may not sound like fun to some people, but for explorer and paleoanthropologist Keneiloe Molopyane, it is a dream come true. And, her discoveries in South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind have the potential to change the world.

Molopyane is an underground astronaut, a National Geographic Society emerging explorer, and a diehard Tintin comic fan. This week on Africa Science Focus, we hear how Molopyane is using her science superhero alter ego, Bones, to inspire new generations of adventurers and scientists.

Africa Science Focus, with Michael Kaloki.
