• Lee Berger described the Rising Star Caves as "Wet"

    From JTEM is so reasonable@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 7 22:15:58 2022
    Lol!

    Of course in your defense, he's claiming that Naledi was
    burying their dead (and that they were not) even as they
    could and did breath smoke, dragging firewood and
    antelope down into the caves with them, lighting fires
    everywhere... and it only took them like six years to
    notice.

    Still haven't found any steel tools yet. Not yet. Nor stone
    tools. Yet.

    Yes: lol!

    AFAICS, naledi was anatomically +-intermediate between a gracile australopith & a bonobo.

    IMO only retarded afro+anthropocentric PAs still believe apiths were human ancestors.
    - Chimps, bonobos, high- lowland gorillas live in Africa,
    - the earliest Homo were found in SE.Asia,
    but PAs find only "hominin" fossils in Africa...
    everything "hominin"... Lol!
    No grants for Pan of Gorilla fossils??

    Objective comparisons clearly show:
    - afarensis->boisei were fossil relatives of Gorilla,
    - africanus->robustus, of Pan.

    Google "not Homo but Pan or Australopithecus naledi".

    He's claiming clear, unambiguous use of fire. Large areas. Lots of bones. Hearths. He's claiming that these fires were set almost everywhere. He's claiming that this very clear, unmistakable use of fire went unnoticed for
    over six years -- at least seven. That, they were literally dragging their bodies on top of some of the evidence all that time. AND, he discovered
    all this on his very first entrance into the caves.

    EVERYONE ELSE missed it.

    He looked up, saw soot on the ceiling and, *Bam*, that very day someone
    else found a hearth... then they found LOTS of of other evidence for fire, extensive evidence, and bones of animals including antelope... with spiral breaks...

    He said that he didn't expect much, when he undertook this exploration,
    maybe a skeleton, AND that they set up a media feed blitzing a million
    (or was it 2 million) viewers/participants...

    ALSO, he's not mindless drone accepting order like a good little paleo anthropologist. He's amongst the elite, setting the agenda! He's got way
    (WAY!) too much power. It's like nobody remembers Piltdown Man and
    the dangers of elitism.
