Agma :
if ants can move their dead to another location, why can't ancient people...

Don't crows mourn their dead? they have much smaller brains than we do

I think it’s incredibly arrogant to believe that we humans are the only creatures capable of emotions like grief,loss and love.

its insane how some anthropologists take Lee Berger less seriously because he's good at communicating to the public lol. I remember an anthropology class where people were just ragging on him for having an Indiana Jones hat and is a charismatic public speaker

Diary of Jayne :
I wonder how that cave system looked 250k years ago. it's possible it wasn't as narrow back then.

Without a flesh brain we can only assume the brain was smaller based on volume, but intelligence is more closely tied to surface area, and a fresh Naledi brain might have more folds than a sapien brain of larger volume.

We are incredibly arrogant about ourselves. I wouldn’t be surprised if brains and behavior were much more complex.

There are animals with brains way bigger than us that can’t do things we can too though…and there are primate species that are very similar to one another but drastically different in size but they seemingly have the same level of intelligence….so why would having a smaller brain equate to less intelligence? I don’t get it

I don't believe in God's and I have laid pets to rest with things like simply because they liked them, so I don't think it HAS to symbolise an afterlife

I have never ever been able to believe that human beings is the only species to have burials, mourn or have complex thoughts and emotions. We are just an extremely selfish, vain and stubborn species.

humans are funny. Animals, reptiles, birds, etc.can do many things that humans can do. They have rituals as well, but since it's different, people think less intelligent. Why not equal but different.

Not overhyped at all. I loved learning about the naledi and can’t get enough.

Considering crows, elephants and chimpanzees use tools, who is to say if other species of hominids also used tools!?

My cat has a brain the size of a walnut and he ritualistically caches his toys categorically in designated spots around the house. If you disturb them he will immediately put them back where he decided they belong. He also fights with his shadow and hasn't figured out his tail is part of his own body. Do with that what you will. Personally I think our perception of intelligence is a philosophical debate

isn't that continent shifting so much there's gonna be a new ocean. why couldn't there be a whole other opening in that cave 250,000 years ago

Lizzie ✨🌙✨ :
How do we know the cave was always that narrow? Couldn’t the earth have shifted causing the cave to close up

Amanda M :
even if we accept that bigger brain=more complex thought, it feels odd to assume that we are at the exact size cut off for burials and thoughts of the afterlife. like saying because you're 6 ft and can reach the shelf you must be 6 ft to reach. (meanwhile the shelf is only 5 ft tall)

SaltyVetDad :
I don’t think brain size alone is a reliable measure of intelligence or emotional capacity. Across the animal kingdom, we see compelling evidence of complex cognition and social behavior. Crows demonstrate advanced problem-solving skills and tool use. Elephants, donkeys, and dogs have all been observed exhibiting behaviors consistent with mourning their dead. These examples suggest that cognitive and emotional depth cannot be reduced to sheer brain volume. It’s reasonable to consider that Homo naledi may have possessed greater intelligence and social complexity than some scientists want to admit.

The burial site along with the petroglyphs on the walls is a clear indication of an advanced ancient people
