"This just doesn't happen." Except that it is, and Lee Berger, the man who uttered that sentence, is the one who made it happen ~ with a little help from his friends.

Using Google Maps, he pinpointed a few promising areas and enlisted the help of local cavers, and that's how it happened: http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2013/11/12/multiple-ancient-hominids-found-on-day-2-of-rising-star-expedition/
