…. whose bones were discovered in a cave in S. Africa in 2013. They were about half the size of us
but had complex behaviors such as burying their dead. The cave had a very small opening so the
paleontologist had to hire women who were small enough, were brave enough to crawl down and then
climb back up a very tight opening to the burial chamber, and they had to know science along with
how to excavate the bones too.

Just the thought of crawling into that cave gave me chills.
