Journey into Darkness: The Allegory of the Cave

February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

NABT and NCSE are proud to present an encore presentation of the 2025 Evolution Symposium, presented at the NABT Conference in St. Louis.

Plan to join us on Thursday, February 12th at 7:00 PM ET (6:00 PM CT, 5:00 PM MT, and 4:00 PM PT) for this free webinar featuring Rick and Lindsay Hunter.

Rick Hunter will share the amazing story of his co-discovery of the first-known fossils of Homo naledi. Rick Hunter is a caver and small-space specialist who, along with Steven Tucker, discovered the Dinaledi Chamber in the Rising Star cave system in the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa in 2013.

K. Lindsay Hunter was one of six Advance Cave Archaeologists (known popularly as the “Underground Astronauts”) selected to excavate within the Rising Star cave system. She is an anthropologist and National Geographic Explorer for the National Geographic Society.Lindsay will discuss her participation in the initial excavation and how a diminutive human ancestor challenged established paleoanthropological views and practices in a big way.

 

An email will be sent to those registered when the recording of this webinar is available on the NABT website.
