The Unburied Podcast Season 2 Episode 4

We picture discoveries as lightning strikes: a single hero, a single moment. But science is slower, messier, and deeply collective. This episode unpacks how the “explorer” myth took hold, how it erased the communities behind real breakthroughs, and how stories like the discovery of the Taung Child were shaped. In this Season 2 finale, Unburied traces the explorer myth from colonial expansion to modern paleoanthropology: why lone-hero narratives persist, how they erase the people who make science possible, and what happens when local voices reclaim their place. From Ronnie Keswa’s living-room gallery and the shores of the Taung Dam to university labs and editorial rooms, we ask what science could look like if it were rooted in collaboration, not conquest. 🔎 What We Cover A jump into the lives of members of the Taung community and how the Taung Child discovery impacted their careers in science How the “explorer myth” shaped paleoanthropology and why it erases teams, communities, and local knowledge How does the Taung community feel about the legacy built from their home? 👥 Guests Prof. Sheela Athreya – Biological anthropologist, Texas A&M; National Geographic Explorer Dr. Mirriam Tawane – Paleoanthropologist; National Heritage Council (South Africa) Dr. Dipuo Kgotleng – Director, Palaeo-Research Institute, University of Johannesburg Kosi Litsukhulele Kueni – Local chief, Buxton (Taung) Lungile “Ronnie” Keswa – Artist/curator; Taung Skull study group Mike Dichaba – Community guide, Taung Xola – Community member; Taung Skull study group 📚 Resources & Links ARC: https://www.arcdocs.org HERI: https://www.heriuct.co.za South African Journal of Science (Special Issue): https://sajs.co.za/article/view/20667 Iziko Museums of South Africa: https://www.iziko.org.za Support the story & become an ARC Angel:   / arc_org   ✨ Support the Show Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Become an ARC Angel on Patreon 🤳🏽 Follow Us TikTok: @arcdocs.org Instagram: @arc_docs Facebook: ARC Docs The Unburied Podcast is a production by ARC in partnership with the University of Cape Town and the Human Evolution Research Institute.
