It’s not written very well, and it’s a bit light on actual paleoanthropology for my taste, but otherwise a solid read.

Lee Berger is a paleoanthropologist; he studies humanoid fossils and has made two extraordinary discoveries: Australopithecus sebida from two million years ago, and Homo naledi from a half million years ago. This memoir tells his story from raising pigs in Georgia in the 1970s to uncovering human ancestors in South Africa in the 21st century.
Almost Human by Lee Berger delivers the thrill of paleoanthropological fieldwork, the ethos of science, and the conflicts of academic research. Anyone interested in scientists or evolution will enjoy this book.

Thoroughly enjoyed this window into the world of paleoanthropology that I really knew very little about. Enjoyable and informative.
