Thursday, February 6th, 2020

Berger, with deep roots in Savannah and years on Tybee, led the expedition that discovered an unprecedented treasure trove of bones hidden deep within a South African cave that represents a new species of human ancestor.

He will present “The Dawn of Humanity,” a NOVA and National Geographic documentary that takes us on that mind-boggling journey deep into a pitch-dark hidden chamber that revealed the 1,500 bones that may help fill in a crucial gap in the fossil record and tell us how Homo, the first member of the human family, emerged from ape-like ancestors like the famous Lucy.

Island Treasures Jekyll Island 2017 Daytrips Savannah

Every year, Jekyll Island commissions a group of highly skilled artisans from across the U.S. to create exquisite, handworked glass floats for Jekyll’s annual Island Treasures event.

(Jekyll Island is an easy, roughly 90-minute drive down I-95 from Savannah. See our list of things to do with kids on on Jekyll Island here. )

The glass floats are part of a hide-and-seek style game played on Jekyll Island throughout January and February. Each day, volunteers called Beach Buddies hide clear globes around the island for lucky guests to find and redeem for a real glass float. Gather your friends and family to search for globes that can be exchanged for dazzling handcrafted glass floats.
