    Lee Berger makes the point that hominids (or
    this group in particular) evolved 'from the
    outside in'. They have modern feet and legs,
    and modern hands and arms, but their torso,
    including hips and shoulders, and especially
    the rib cage, are primitive. The 'outside' seems
    homo, even Erectus, while the 'inside' is
    australopithecine.

    My money is still on "Recent" instead of the
    "more than 2 million years old" that they are
    trying so hard to justify.

    We won't know for years though. When paleoanthropology
    is dedicated to a certain answer, as they seem to be
    here, we can count on YEARS before unraveling the
    truth.

    2016? The news was still fresh and I was already calling bullshit?

    Damn. I'm so brilliant that I sometimes catch myself wishing that
    I could be me...

    Kind of exciting how this was found. A very good article. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/09/150910-human-evolution-change/

    For non-anhropocentric information on naledi, google
    "Homo or Australopithecus naledi PPT".

    Did you notice the date? 2015?

    I know I said 2016 before but, hey, my mistake. The thread is from 2015.

    AND ALL THEIR CONCLUSIONS REMAIN THE SAME!

    Everything they were claiming back then was false. it wasn't more than 2 million
    years old, they didn't bury their dead and they didn't have modern brains or "modern structures" or whatever idiocy they were claiming. But all their conclusions
    stuck, even though they were wrong about everything.

    It's still "Homo" naledi even though there is no F***ing way it's an ancestor...

    It's still "Homo" naledi even though it doesn't re-write a fortune cookie, much the "The Book on human evolution."

    Outside of paleo anthropology that's called a rationalization, at best, if not circular thinking... or both.

    Their conclusions were and remain independent of facts.

    Yes, "They buried their dead" is dumb. I mean, really dumb." This is one of the most far-fetched unscientific ideas ever proposed IMO. This idea is unnecessary, anthropocentric & impossible for many reasons, e.g. naledi had c 500 cc CC, caves erode rel.
    fast., they had no light, etc.etc.
    Naledi fossilised in mud-stone, that means they died in stagnant water: probably they simply lived there, collecting AQH (aquatic herbaceous vegetation), like lowland gorillas still do, or like bonobos wading bipedally for waterlilies.
    Google "aquarboreal": naledi-like fossils were predicted.
    Seeking water, drowning in it.

    Yes, it's incredible how medieval so many PAs still are...
