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