Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Donald Corren gives Lee Berger’s 'Almost Human' an impeccable narration, delivering every word with the gravity and excitement they deserve. His performance not only conveys the complexity of the scientific quest but also captures the personal stakes involved. Berger’s storytelling is both meticulous and passionate, diving deep into the archaeological site where Homo naledi was found, weaving a narrative that feels as intimate as it is groundbreaking. The pacing is just right, balancing detailed descriptions with engaging anecdotes. However, at times, the scientific terminology might feel dense for non-specialists, which could make the listening experience slightly challenging. Despite this, 'Almost Human' remains an essential listen for anyone fascinated by human history or eager to understand the latest advancements in paleoanthropology.
