UNA HISTORIA REAL DE AVENTURAS, HALLAZGOS Y LOS ORÍGENES DE LA HUMANIDAD. En la oscuridad más profunda, en las cámaras repletas de estalactitas del sistema de cuevas sudafricano Rising Star, el reconocido paleoantropólogo Lee Berger y su intrépido equipo de exploradores han descubierto miles de fósiles óseos pertenecientes a una especie hominina que probablemente compartió tiempo y espacio con la nuestra: el Homo naledi. Lleno de suspense, drama y proezas, La cueva de los huesos relata la arriesgada aventura de Berger, en la que se atreve a sobrepasar sus límites físicos y mentales para experimentar en carne propia los mismos espacios que ocuparon estos parientes arcaicos.
