Homo naledi, with it's modern brain and deliberate
burial of it's dead, is the 2 million PLUS year old
human ancestor that re-writes the book on human
history!
"It's brain was larger than chimps, larger than
Australopithecus, larger than an elephant's brain
and even larger than that found in a Blue Whale,"
exclaimed one exited researcher as he peed down
his leg. "I think it may have even flown in gliders,
because they didn't have engines to power planes
back then so saying they flew planes is stupid. It
had to be gliders," he pointed out. "Definitely gliders."
More than one Nobel hopeful in a usenet discussion
group, sci.anthropology.paleo, hurriedly agree with all
the finding including several that have yet to be
made.
"If we find dead animals in a trap-like cave then the
only explanation is that they died elsewhere, and then
others dragged the body through the pitch-black
obstacle course, depositing them within a cavern which
they could not possibly have even known existed before
this act, then made their way back out." They explained.
"Tool making came later," they assured us. "And water
is moist. Nothing else is, only water."
There remains questions over the missing Domeshields,
whether they were left outside of the cave where later
goats ate them, or were constructed from a material which
did not preserve well, but with a larger grant researchers
feel confident these and other questions will be answered
soon.
"Don't ask about DNA," some were quick to caution. "And
not just because we contaminated absolutely everything,
refusing to take even rudimentary precautions, but because
we said so."
Further information will be provided as it develops.
