Most cave findings are simply fossil accumulations of animals that died in rivers etc.

In Naledi the fossils are all hominid (that alone calls out for explanation, why so few other species?). and it seems they all went into the caves deliberately and possibly, I speculate, under conditions of desperation (ie. escaping a predatory massacre).
They may even have hurt themselves getting in. The layout of the bones suggests they died there rather than having been disposed of or ritualistically buried in the cave. I think they went in there, couldn't get out, and starved to death.

Of course: Hominoidea were waterside, forgot?? https://www.gondwanatalks.com/l/the-waterside-hypothesis-wading-led-to-upright-walking-in-early-humans/
Why don't these kudu runners inform a little bit before talking??

:-DDD Like you?
You kudu runners become more+more senile.

Uh, during the dry season all/many species were waterside, moron.

I can only think of two reasons why we would find the fossils of multiple hominids in these caves and an absence of other species, and the latter is more likely in my opinion. Either they occupied those caves frequently and removed carcasses of other
species or, more likely, they went in there as a desperate measure to escape predators (and then were unable to get out).
