kevin has always been great having you
want to answer that question of what’s
around the next corner that’s like
always the question you want to know
it’s mostly fueled by curiosity
but as you get into caving more and more
the scientific side of it comes into it
you want to know how did these places
form what happened here millions of
years ago what happened you have
billions of years ago basically it
creates a fascination with this whole
environment in my wildest dreams I would
never have thought that caving would
take me to what’s happening here
you can always call this a bit of an
accident so my caving buddy and me Rick
we were out exploring this cave on a
Friday night and we’d gone into a very
remote section of the cave part that I’d
never been in before and in that
sectional we stumbled upon fossils yeah
at first we didn’t exactly know what
fossils yet we felt looking around a bit
more until we found a mandible and that
was when we knew this was probably
hominid that was even Rieger they got
excited about it and since this
discovery it’s crazy what’s happening
yet Pedro was off is a geologist
he’s been caving in this country for 30
plus years and he was asked by Li T
basically go and look for fossils in
deeper areas of caves and he’d then
spoken to myself and Rick and a few
others and said oh he needs us to come
start looking for hominids and on this
whole expedition he has been in charge
of the cavers coordinating who is here
and what we have to do and getting
everything organized for us since the
start of this expedition from the cavers
side we’ve been putting in over two
kilometers of cabling those are four
cameras lights communications within the
cave
and we’ve also put up safety ropes
straight throughout the cave for the
safety of the scientists making sure
there’s no injuries and we’re here for
backup that in case something does go
wrong we are here to assist as soon as
possible
