Burials and engravings in a small-brained hominin, Homo naledi, from
the late Pleistocene: contexts and evolutionary implications

Abstract

Data from recent explorations in the Dinaledi subsystem illustrates
one of the earliest examples of a mortuary practice in hominins and
offers the earliest evidence of multiple interments and funerary
actions, as well as evidence of the early creation of meaning making
by a hominin. The hominin undertaking these behaviors was the
small-brained Homo naledi. These data call into question several key assumptions about behavioral and cognitive evolution in Pleistocene
hominins. The evidence from Dinaledi push back the temporal origins of
mortuary and funerary behaviors and associate the creation of meaning
making with a small-brained species and thus challenge key assumptions
about the role and importance of encephalization in human evolution.
This suggests that the hominin socio-cognitive niche and its relation
to meaning-making activities is more diverse than previously thought.
The association of these activities in subterranean spaces accessed
and modified by the small brained species Homo naledi impacts
assertations that technological and cognitive advances in human
evolution are associated solely with the evolution of larger brains.

Already caught your kudu, my boy?
Grow up!
Anthropocentric fantasies:
from my book:
Berger zag op neandertal-botten letsels zoals bij "rodeo riders" (nonsens), aan Taung’s oogkassen krassen van arendsklauwen (mogelijk?), en in naledi's knokenhoop "deliberate burial" (nonsens). De naledi-fossielen zaten in "orange mud-clasts embedded
in a brown muddy matrix" (oranje = vers slijk, bruin = geoxideerd). Steven Tucker, de speleoloog die met Nick Hunter naledi ontdekte, zei dat de onderkaak uit de breccia in de bovenwand van de grot was gevallen (largely unconsolidated mud-clast breccia).
Ook afarensis lag soms fossiel verzameld (AL-333 'First Family'), eerst dacht men bijeengespoeld in een vloedgolf, nu denkt men over vele jaren: bv. door trage bodemstroming in papyrusmoerassen? Zelfs Atapuerca's knokenput (Bartsiokas 2020) van pre-
neandertalers was een natuurlijke ophoping (H.antecessor in Sima de los Huesos), evenals de neandertalers in de Noord-Spaanse grotten Cueva del Sidrón en El Pendo. Ook de iguanodons van Bernissart (paleontologen J.-P.van Beneden en Ludovicus Depauw, zie
Cordier 2017) begroeven elkaar niet. :-D

Yeah. Now they eulogized their dead... wrote epithets..

Abstract

one of the earliest examples of a mortuary practice in hominins and
offers the earliest evidence of multiple interments and funerary
actions, as well as evidence of the early creation of meaning making
by a hominin.

I think Lee Berger is trying to force a square peg into a round hole on this one. He refers to this as, "data." Clearly it is an interpretation of data. Aspects of this data are consistent with mortuary practices but other aspects are not.

A better interpretation, in my opinion, starts with realization that hominid communities often found themselves under siege during the depth of the dry season. Accordingly, the fossils found would have entered the caves in a state of extreme
desperation as the rest of their community was massacred then they either couldn't get out or died of thirst waiting for the predators to leave the area.

There is no mention of Kudu in any of this, you ignorant ass.

Lol! "One."

Speaking of ignorant asses: They do claim that Naledi dragged
antelope into the caverns, and cooked them. I suppose you
"Argue" that they snagged them with machine guns...

I've posted two. If they escaped your illness both times, what
are the chances of you paying attention on the third?

The first cite was Lee Berger himself.

The second cite was a talk given by this little known man by
the name of John Hawks.

Because you mention it in one and the same sentence, implying that the
person who did the research on Neanderthal trauma (which you consider
nonsense) is the same as the one who did the research on the Taung
trauma.
You're sole purpose was to discredit the person, Lee Berger, by
linking him to the "nonsense", but you made a mistake.

I'm very sorry, I should sometimes reread what I've written:
should be: Simply typical illustrations of PAs' anthropocentric biases. PA=paleo-anthropologist or paleo-anthropology.
