請原諒我。這篇文章有點自我放縱。但我最近從南非報道旅行回來,為了一個關於一些非凡人類化石的故事(稍後會詳細介紹),當我在那裡時,我看到了一些野生動物——對於像我這樣的城市老鼠來說,這真是令人興奮的事情。瀏覽我的照片讓我想起了我在那裡瞭解到的關於神奇動物的事情,我想我會分享其中的一些。我在兩個地點拍攝了這些照片:約翰·納什自然保護區,位於約翰內斯堡以北 30 公里處,以及與波札那接壤的馬迪克韋野生動物保護區。

She is fascinated by human origins, which she has covered for more than 25 years. Recently she has become obsessed with birds. Her reporting has taken her to caves in France and Croatia that Neandertals once called home, to the shores of Kenya's Lake Turkana in search of the oldest stone tools in the world, to Madagascar on an expedition to unearth ancient mammals and dinosaurs, to the icy waters of Antarctica, where humpback whales feast on krill, and on a "Big Day" race around the state of Connecticut to find as many bird species as possible in 24 hours. Kate is co-author, with Donald Johanson, of Lucy's Legacy: The Quest for Human Origins. She holds a bachelor of science degree in biological anthropology and zoology from the University of Michigan.
