His explorations into human origins in Africa over the past 25 years have resulted in the discovery of more individual fossil hominin remains than any other exploration program in the history of the search for human origins in Africa. Among Berger’s many notable finds, the discoveries of two new species of ancient human relatives are especially noteworthy. In 2008 he found Australopithecus sediba, fossil remains of remarkable completeness that showed an intriguing mix of apelike and humanlike characteristics. In 2013 his team found another new species of ancient human relative, Homo naledi, amid the richest early hominin site yet found in Africa.

Berger is the Phillip Tobias Chair in Palaeoanthropology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. A current National Geographic Explorer at Large, Berger won the first National Geographic Society Research and Exploration Prize in 1997.
