Update: 2025-06-29
Description
What if the ground beneath your feet could tell you exactly when our ancestors walked the Earth?
Dr. Tebogo Makhubela, a geologist from Soweto and a recent National Geographic Wayfinder Award winner, followed his scientific passion and is now uncovering these ancient stories as a National Geographic Explorer.
This conversation takes us from when he bravely chose geology without financial backing despite pressure to pursue more conventional careers, to his work dating fossils at South Africa's Cradle of Humankind.
