We saved the best for last! 🤩 M&G with the NMK VIPs. Surreal to finally see and touch (!) REAL #Australopithecus/#Paranthropus and African #Homo fossils, incl. Nariokotome Boy and the Black Skull 🤯 Another childhood #dream fulfilled 🥰💀🦴 Thank you @MartMLahr @museumsofkenya

Recording a new episode of #SkullswithSeth tomorrow! It’s going to be great! We will be learning all about the fascinating skull of “#Karabo”, an #Australopithecus #sediba specimen known as the “Skull in the Rock”, discovered by the son of famed #Paleoanthropologist, and friend of the channel Dr. Lee Berger in 2008-2009.

Be sure to subscribe, and turn on notifications from the channel so you do not miss what is going to be a great episode!
